Soler and Gameiro return to training

Carlos Soler and Kevin Gameiro began their progressive reincorporation into the squad at the Ciudad Deportiva on Tuesday morning. The two players, on the comeback trail from their respective recent injuries, trained alongside their teammates again for the first time.

Gameiro missed the games against Athletic Club, AFC Ajax and Deportivo Alavés after pulling up early on in the match against Getafe, and is eyeing a return to action and to goalscoring form as soon as possible.

Soler posted a message on social media after the session, saying "There is still work ahead, but being able to return to training with my teammates definitely makes it easier. I couldn't wait!"

Both players have made positive progress in their recovery, and the plan is to increase their workload during the international break.
