Nehuén Pérez resumes ball work, nears full return to the pitch | OneFootball

FC Porto announced today progress in the recovery process of Nehuén Pérez, who is already training with the ball at the Jorge Costa Training and Sports Development Center in Olival, after the serious injury he suffered on September 13 against Nacional. The expectation is that the central defender could return to competition before the end of the season, possibly in May, although FC Porto is maintaining a cautious approach in clinical monitoring.

In that match against the islanders, the player suffered a complete rupture of the right Achilles tendon and underwent surgery shortly afterwards. Initially, it was expected that he would be out for an extended period, practically ruling out a return this season, but his positive response to recent stimuli has changed that scenario.

Last week, the Argentine international began doing restricted work on the pitch at the Jorge Costa Training and Sports Development Center in Olival. After several months dedicated mainly to treatments and gym work, Nehuén is already running and has shown consistent signs of progress, raising hopes of a possible return during the current campaign. Despite the optimistic signs, the club's medical department does not intend to rush any stages of the process.
