De Prado: be careful with Pere Milla’s recovery after his injury
Today’s training session with Elche CF delivered positive updates along with important cautions. Striker Pere Milla is already back on his feet and moving on the field, marking progress three weeks after Martínez Valero hosted surgery to repair a broken collarbone that happened the same day he netted a hat-trick against Villarreal. Díez Iborra joined the group on the training pitch this morning, signaling renewed development for the squad.

The forward continues to fit into the program as recovery progresses. The team has emphasized steady, gradual improvements, with sessions designed to rebuild strength and mobility while avoiding any setback. Although the player completed about 30 minutes of work at a brisk pace wearing appropriate footwear, the overall plan remains focused on a careful retraining process and ample rest when needed, ensuring that momentum does not come at the expense of his long term health.
Without showing any pain and without wearing any protective bandages, Pere Milla resumed athletic activity in line with the recovery protocol after his February 8 surgery. A few days after the operation, he returned to the stadium to begin the rehabilitation process, starting with gym sessions and targeted work with physical therapists. Now, he is steadily testing the grass again during training sessions, closely monitored by the medical and coaching staff to gauge readiness for upcoming steps.
One month and more
If everything continues on track, the striker could rejoin competitive action in a little over a month. Yet medical professionals have warned that pinning a precise date would be premature. The injury is serious and demands a nuanced, gradual readjustment plan to rebuild strength, stability, and confidence in the joint. The club remains optimistic while prioritizing safety, understanding that a premature return could jeopardize the full recovery and future performance.
As the team prepares for the upcoming fixtures, Pere Milla’s empty presence will be felt on the bench and in the locker room. His return is not just a personal milestone but a signal of the squad’s resilience and depth, especially as coaching staff map out rotation and tactical options to maintain momentum while he continues his rehabilitation. The medical team continues to monitor all indicators, ready to adjust the plan if pain or swelling reappears. This careful approach aims to ensure that when Pere Milla steps back on the field, he does so with lasting fitness and confidence, contributing to Elche CF’s campaign with renewed vigor.
