Ante Budimir - Still working towards return Budimir (chest) is closing in on a return but will not be an option for Saturday's match against Athletic, according to manager Jagoba Arrastate, per Javier Leone of News from Nava... Impact Budimir is still working on his return to play following the chest trauma he went down with a couple of weeks ago. He started to train individually at the start of the week and is now included in parts of team training, bringing confidence he will be ready to go soon. However, with such a scary injury, the club is taking his return cautiously. That said, he will likely need another week to recover, possibly facing a late fitness to face Mallorca on Tuesday, but he is more likely to return against Atletico Madrid on May 19. Either way, the forward should return before the end of the season.
