The session on Tuesday at Abegondo left one of the most eagerly awaited pieces of news for Antonio Hidalgo. Lorenzo Amatucci returned to work at the same pace as his teammates after overcoming the muscular problem that had kept him sidelined since the match against Sevilla on September 17.

The Italian midfielder had been out for more than two weeks and also could not take part in the friendlies Deportivo played during the international break against Penafiel and Oporto. His return means he could be in contention to make his comeback this Sunday, at 16:15, at Anoeta against the Real Sociedad.

Amatucciu2019s recovery is especially important given the problems Hidalgo has accumulated in order to put his team together. Marc Casadu00f3 is also absent, so a setback for the Italian would have forced the coach to rebuild his midfield. His aim is to keep a midfield of three players, within a shape he will already have to adjust due to the injuries to Aubameyang and Zakaria.

More recoveries and the gradual return of the internationals

Amatucci was not the only one to bring good news. Riki Rodru00edguez, Luismi Cruz and Adriu00e1n Altimira were also unavailable for Fridayu2019s friendly against Oporto, but all three completed the session normally and will be in a position to face the league fixture.

The Deportivo side also hopes to have Nou00e9 Carrillo and Kevin Su00e1nchez in their squad. Carrillo returned to competition on Friday after the injury he suffered against Real Madrid at the Teresa Herrera, while Kevin was among the players called up by Hidalgo to kick off the weeku2019s training. The academy player, who has already made his debut in LaLiga, has increased his chances with the absences of Aubameyang and Zakaria.

The main absences on Tuesday were the internationals. Bright Ede and Nsongo Bil, once their commitments with Cameroon and Poland, respectively, were finished, did not arrive in time to take part in training. As the club confirmed, both will join up this Wednesday.

Later, Josu00e9 Maru00eda Gimu00e9nez and Lucas Noubi will return. This Tuesday they were still playing their final matches with their national teams. Their return to Abegondo is scheduled for between Thursday and Friday. Gimu00e9nez has been operating as a regular starter, while Noubi is the centre-back who has played the most matches so far.
