According to the coach, Cano has been showing good progress in training and had a positive week of work with the coaching staff. “Germán is coming back, he’s training well, had a very good week and soon, very soon, he’ll be available,” said Zubeldía, expressing optimism about the return of the number 9.
The coach emphasized, however, that the club is being cautious in the process, prioritizing a solid base of physical preparation to avoid problems throughout the season. “We are making sure he has an adequate training base with the entire coaching staff and he will certainly be considered for selection soon,” he explained.
Zubeldía also highlighted that the planning takes into account the long duration of the season. “The most important thing is to establish a training base, because the season is very long and now is the time for him to accumulate training sessions so that he doesn’t suffer negative consequences during the season,” he added.
Finally, the coach celebrated the striker’s progress and treated Cano’s return as positive news for the entire squad. “We are on the right track and, for all of us, it’s great news,” he concluded.
