Fernando Reges will start the pre-season with Sevilla FC

Sevilla FC will return to work in the first week of July. There are barely a couple of weeks left for Julen Lopetegui’s 4.0 project to kick off and although there are still no signings, the squad will be reinforced with the return of Fernando Kingsone of the pillars that fell in the decisive stretch of the last season.

Initially, a conservative treatment was opted for to avoid surgery, although in the end, surgery was the decision that everyone considered opportune to solve his injury to the ankle. Fernando Reges was injured just after the league derby, at the end of February, and the first of his absences already conditioned the team. It was one of the most sensitive absences in the elimination of Sevilla in the UEFA Europa Leagueagainst West Ham.

He even forced himself to be in London against West Ham in the round of 16 of the Europa League, although on the same day of the match “he saw that he couldn’t” because “he needed at least eighty percent of movement capacity and he didn’t have it”.

Since then, 14 games and more than three months in the dry dock. A too severe handicap for Sevilla, which he only wins 28% of the matches without Fernando.

Despite the midfielder already on the pitch for three weeks, he has been gradually increasing his workload and his recovery is almost over. He is expected to return at the same pace as his teammates at the start of the season. A luxury booster ahead of a season that will undoubtedly be demanding again.
