Despite the progress, the manager avoids setting a return deadline. “Right now I can't give a date, but it's true that he's been integrating into the group little by little, and that's very good news”, he explained.

Beñat also highlighted the player's desire to return as soon as possible: “He's a player with a tremendous passion for football and he wants to be there and help the team. Those urges make all of us feel optimistic”.

That wish won't make Rayo rush the process. “Sometimes recovery processes take a certain amount of time, it's the one we want and sometimes it's not the one we want. In this case, we needed to wait a bit longer”, the coach said.

The coaching staff considers it especially important that Isi returns with guarantees given the demands of his football. “He's a powerful player, with bursts, stepovers and a very aggressive shot. Those players, when they have an injury, it can cost them a bit more to come back”, Beñat said, before adding: “The most important thing is that when he returns, it will be with complete safety”.

The latest training sessions have shown significant progress. “He's made quite a bit of progress this week and we'll see if during this break he can already join the group at 100%”, the coach revealed.

Before that international window, Rayo must travel this Saturday to face Osasuna at El Sadar. It will be after that when Isi has more time to keep regaining his feel and to check whether he can finally complete his return to collective training.
