Impact Marti stepped on the field for the first time since Dec. 17, but he didn't have enough time to make an impact as Cadiz had to settle for a 1-0 loss to Barca.

Starts to train again Marti (ankle) is back in training, manager Mauricio Pellegrino announced Thursday.

Impact Marti is already back in training, which comes as a bit of a surprise after the forward was announced as out for the season following ankle surgery back in December. However, there is still only a slight chance the player will return this season, as with only two months left, the club may choose to preserve him until next season, not forcing him back into a situation where he might aggravate the issue. Either way, he would have to see a return to team training to make that happen, which most likely wouldn't come until the end of April if he does end up making a return to play this campaign.

Joins Elche Marti transferred to Elche from Levante on Thursday. He's signed a four-year contract with his new club.

Impact Marti is one of the better signings made by Elche since ascending to La Liga who can rival or surpass Lucas Boye and Pere Milla when it comes to scoring goals. Until the relegation struggles of last season in which he scored seven times, Marti had found the net at least 11 times over the previous three campaigns. With a better defense behind him, Marti could get back to double-digits if he's given a shot to start. It will still be important to track how much he gets to play in a side that has some decent options in the attack.
