Chumi takes positive step forward in injury recovery
The UD Almería centre-back is set to begin on-pitch rehabilitation after knee setback
UD Almería have received encouraging news as Chumi moves into a new phase of his recovery from injury. The centre-back, who picked up a left knee issue during a training session on 19 December, 2025 is scheduled to start on-pitch tests and rehabilitation work next week.
Chumi suffered a sprain to the medial collateral ligament in his left knee and has been undergoing physiotherapy and gym-based rehab in recent weeks. While the Laracha native remains sidelined and is expected to miss several more matches, the transition to pitch work represents a significant milestone in his recovery.
With UD Almería looking to ease their injury concerns after a challenging period, the defender’s progress offers a welcome boost as he edges closer to a return to competitive action.
