Both the tribute and the start of training were attended by every member of the squad, including Lucas Terrer, who continues to make progress in his recovery from a quadriceps muscle injury that kept him out of the most recent game against the Yellow Submarine’s reserve side. The midfielder was able to complete part of the session alongside his teammates, and his progress will directly determine whether he can contribute to the team in the next fixture, although his presence against Huesca remains doubtful.
The session also featured Jaime Tobajas, one of the standout names from the latest match against Villarreal B. The young footballer received praise from the Zaragoza coach after his performance, although he will not be available for Saturday’s derby after being shown a red card in the closing stages of the game. Even so, Ibai Gómez did not hold back in highlighting his personality and development within the team.
FIRST-TEAM MEMBER
"I find it difficult for him to return to Deportivo Aragón after today’s match. He has been knocking on the door for a long time. We needed players with the personality to keep hold of the ball, and Tobajas is like that. He doesn’t care whether he plays here, in the town square or at the Bernabéu. He is a cheeky player, in the best sense of the word. I believe he is going to be very important for Real Zaragoza," the Blanquillo coach said in praise of a player who will now be part of the first team almost exclusively.
In this way, Real Zaragoza have begun preparing for a highly demanding week, with their focus on Huesca and Lucas Terrer’s progress one of the key aspects to monitor in the coming training sessions. The aim is to secure another victory at Ibercaja Estadio and remain in the fight for top spot in the standings.
