Casadó begins recovery after clavicle surgery

Marc Casadó, on loan from FC Barcelona at Deportivo de A Coruña, is already in the process of recovering after surgery for a clavicle injury. As Mundo Deportivo reports, the midfielder is carrying out the first stage of his rehab in Sant Joan Despí.

First step in rehab

This week, the player was seen leaving the Ciutat Esportiva facilities in Sant Joan Despí, captured by cameras from 'El Chiringuito TV', in what the paper describes as the early part of his return-to-training process.

The injury happened on Sunday, September 20, during Deportivo’s LaLiga match against Real Betis. Mundo Deportivo explains it was caused by a bad fall after a clash with Marc Roca. The article adds that he underwent surgery on Monday at HM Modelo Hospital in A Coruña, performed by orthopaedic specialist Rafael Arriaza.

Expected timeline for return

Given the operation, Casadó is set to miss between eight and twelve weeks. With that window, the report suggests he could be back on the pitch in late December or early January.

From the broader season context, Casadó joined Deportivo on loan after a transfer deal failed to materialize when Barcelona explored options in the final stretch of the market. Mundo Deportivo also notes that, according to Hansi Flick, he would have had it very difficult to earn minutes at Barcelona—so the loan move was designed to keep his playing rhythm. For now, the focus is on the recovery from the clavicle and hitting the planned stages.
