Returns to team training

Rodri (back) returned to team training Monday as he continues his recovery following offseason back surgery, according to Mundo Deportivo.

Analysis: Rodri trained with his teammates Monday after previously being limited to individual work following his arrival. The midfielder missed the season opener against Elche but has taken an important step toward making his debut after undergoing back surgery following the World Cup. Thursday's clash against Athletic Club could come into consideration if Rodri continues to progress in team training over the next few days.
