Remains unavailable Monday
van de Beek (Achilles) has been training with the group for almost a full week but has yet to receive medical clearance and remains unavailable for Monday's clash against Rayo Vallecano, according to coach Michel Sanchez. "van de Beek has been able to train for almost a full week, but he is not available."
Analysis: van de Beek's continued unavailability is a frustrating development despite the positive sign of returning to team training after rupturing his Achilles earlier in the season. The Dutch midfielder is clearly making progress, but the medical staff are taking a cautious approach before clearing him for competitive action. With the season drawing to a close, it remains to be seen whether he will get the opportunity to feature before the campaign ends.
Returns to team training
van de Beek (Achilles) returned to team training Thursday and could be an option for upcoming fixtures, the club posted.
Analysis: van de Beek ruptured his Achilles and was initially ruled out for six months, making his return to team training an impressive recovery milestone. The Dutch midfielder will likely be eased back into action gradually rather than being thrown straight into the starting lineup given the severity of a ruptured Achilles, but getting back on the training pitch with his teammates is a significant step forward. His return adds a useful depth option for Girona heading into the final fixtures of the season.
