Elche will resume training with a focus on recovery and preparation for the next fixtures
The Elche CF squad is back on the training pitch this Monday after a weekend break, using the downtime to recharge before the next challenge. With the season entering its concluding phase, the Franjiverdes players will begin their tactical preparations for the second division match, even though relegation to the second tier has already been confirmed on paper. The upcoming Sunday match against Atlético de Madrid at Martínez Valero, scheduled for 16:15, marks an important moment for the team to close the campaign with discipline and competitive spirit.
Beccacece will continue to implement his game philosophy as he plans for the future. The Franjiverde coach is focused on keeping the squad aligned with a clear style of play that emphasizes ball control, pressing intensity, and measured progression in possession. His objective remains to build a cohesive unit that can compete with top-level teams, while also giving opportunities to younger players who can contribute in the long run. Several players will be reassessed as the medical staff works to ensure they are ready to contribute meaningfully next season, including Omar Mascarell, Helibelton Palacios, and Pedro Bigas, all of whom have missed recent matches due to injuries.
In terms of injuries, Carmona is the main absentee currently listed. While he has started individual work on the training field, he will require additional weeks of rehabilitation before rejoining full-team sessions. The club will monitor his recovery closely and integrate him back into training gradually to avoid any setbacks. The focus remains on a safe and steady return rather than rushing him back into action, ensuring he regains peak match fitness without compromising his health.
Earlier this morning, a special training session was organized for the city’s youth, inviting boys and girls from local schools to take part in a community event. The event, organized by the Green Fringe Cabbages initiative in partnership with the Peñas Federation, celebrated the club’s long-standing ties with the city and its supporters as part of the club’s centennial celebrations. Participants had the chance to observe professional drills, learn about teamwork, and experience the culture of the club up close, reinforcing the connection between Elche CF and the community it serves.
Elche will open Monday’s training to city schoolchildren, underscoring the club’s commitment to youth development and community engagement. The initiative reflects the club’s belief that engaging with local schools helps foster a pipeline of young talent while reinforcing the values of dedication, discipline, and resilience that define the Elche identity.
The impact of relegation from the Premier League remains a difficult blow for the organization and its fan base, yet the club and its supporters aim to sustain the green franchise feeling that has gained momentum in recent years. The shared pride in the club’s history and its supporters continues to drive actions on and off the pitch, as everyone looks to preserve a strong, hopeful future for Elche CF.
