Aubameyang steps up his recovery - when will he return?

Real Club Deportivo de A Coruña

The RC Deportivo is closely monitoring the progress of Aubameyang, one of their most important attacking pieces. The Gabonese forward continues with his recovery process after suffering a partial tear of the outer meniscus in his right knee, an injury that occurred during the league match against Betis.

The player was operated on last September 24 by the traumatologist Manuel Leyes at the Centro Olympia in Madrid. He was discharged from hospital the same day and returned to A Coruña to begin his rehabilitation.

For now, Aubameyang has already missed games against the Real Sociedad and the Levante. He also will not be available for the next fixtures against the Atlético de Madrid and the Auriense, the latter being a Copa del Rey match.

After four weeks out, the forward is approaching a key phase in his recovery. If his knee responds favorably, he could begin a gradual return to training with the group. In any case, Deportivo do not want to rush the timeline and are taking a cautious approach.

As for a possible return date, the scenario is not fully defined. There is a chance he could make his comeback before the next international break, although the more conservative option places his return on the weekend of November 22, in the match against Alavés on matchday 13 of LaLiga.

For Fantasy managers, the situation calls for calm. Aubameyang continues to move forward, but he is still not available and has ruled out the upcoming matches. His value will depend on how he progresses as he re-joins the group and on whether the club decides to speed up his competitive return or not.

Medical sensations are positive within the bounds of caution. As Manuel Leyes explained, it was necessary to remove a small part of the affected meniscus, while the rest of the knee is in good condition. He also highlighted the player’s low level of joint wear and said that, if the recovery continues properly, there should be no short-term after-effects.
