Córdoba eye Víctor Sánchez for Almería clash after adductor issue

Córdoba CF has a timely boost heading into matchday five of Segunda División. According to Sport, the club returned to training on Wednesday with a clear target: the upcoming Saturday visit from Almería at the Bahrain Victorious Nuevo Arcángel (21:00), and Víctor Sánchez is the key name in the squad picture.

Back from a low-grade injury

Sport details that the Sevilla forward has been recovering from a low-grade injury to his left adductor. In the latest medical update shared by the club on August 25, the statement said that, after new tests, the initial diagnosis was confirmed and that the player had already begun his recovery work with Córdoba’s medical and physiotherapy team. The same note also made it clear that both return to group training and the final length of his absence would depend on how the injury progresses.

Possible list vs Almería

Sport also says the most optimistic scenario is that Víctor Sánchez could be included for the game on Saturday, if Iván Ania decides it’s the right call. The outlet points out that the club had already reported—three days earlier after the match against Girona—that the injury was low-grade, and that, looking at typical timelines in Spanish football, it was reasonable to expect about three weeks out.

During Wednesday’s session, Sport reports Víctor Sánchez worked with the group alongside the rest of the squad, in a positive sign for his availability. With this, the immediate uncertainty is purely technical: whether the coaching staff feel he’s ready to contribute against Almería at El Arcángel.
