Well returned 220 days later

The friendly against Leganés left good news for Rayo. Beyond the victory (0-1), Butarque witnessed one of the most anticipated returns for the franjirroja parish, that of José Ángel Pozo. The 24-year-old midfielder enjoyed a few minutes during the second half (he started in 70 ') and thus confirmed his return more than seven months later. To find the last time in which the Malaga played a match with the elastic Vallecana would have to go back 220 days.

That January 26, Rayo faced Extremadura and Pozo had to be replaced due to an injury. At which time a tear in the adductor magnus of the right thigh was diagnosed and a time of absence of about six weeks was set. After confinement, the franjirrojo player joined training alone. However, the annoyances continued (“when hitting with his right leg”, detailed the then technician Paco Jémez) and he could not finish recovering.

Hence, finally, Well had to undergo surgery on July 9. The playmaker was operated on in the pubis – he suffered from dynamic osteopathy – at the CEMTRO Clinic and just two months later, he has been able to step back onto the playing fields. Little by little, Iraola will be able to count on one of the most destabilizing footballers of the Vallecana squad. And is that the return of Malaga is one of the great signings ahead of 2020-21.
