A light, varied session was held today at the Díez Iborra football field, organized by the Elche staff. The coach led the group through a day of ball work, starting with paired drills and gradually moving into small-group work. In this phase, players engaged in a form of soccer tennis, using compact courts and nets. With three players on each side, teams earned points by trapping the ball between the lines and preventing a return shot from the opponent.

The training was designed to be gentle on the body, aiding a cautious return for players recovering from injuries. A few teammates were re-integrated into the group dynamics, joining exercises that tested movement and coordination without overexertion. The pace allowed for steady observation of each player’s recovery progress.
The session showcased Pere Milla moving with greater assurance, using his left arm to maneuver and interact with the ball as he resumes full control and rhythm on the field.

Álex Collado showed a notable improvement, having nearly completed his illness and muscle recovery. He has been reintegrated into the squad this week, with a rapid return to competitive readiness that could occur this week or the next.

The remaining absence was Pedro Bigas, who was affected by flu and trained solo at the gym yesterday, then remained at home today. The rest of the squad joined a late-morning session at the Valero stadium, where streetwear was the vibe of the moment.
The group assembled for the technical talk typically delivered by the coach, with hope that Bigas will be ready for Saturday’s activity, depending on his recovery and condition.
