Carlos Soler continues on the comeback trail from his ankle injury, and is already in the readaptation phase of his recovery. This is the third stage of the process, as he makes a gradual increase of the load beared by the joint.

This is the fifth week of rehabilitation for the midfielder, who is training in the gym and swimming pool with flexion and extension exercises, and will shortly move onto work on the pitch.

Of course, he has also been keeping up to date with the squad, albeit restlessly as he would like to be playing alongside his teammates. Shortly after the Champions League win over Chelsea, he took to social media to write: "Great victory, team. More than a family."
