Mikel Oyarzabal - Returns to training Oyarzabal (knee) was a full participant in Monday's training session, according to El Desmarque.
Impact Oyarzabal looks to be back after missing much of the last year following a torn ACL suffered in March of 2022. It's still worth being careful as he's unlikely to get a competitive game in until 2023. By bolstering a team already with plenty of capable attackers, Oyarzabal could be one of the stars of the second half of the season.
