Injury Woes

Away from all this, Izan, together with his teammates, had just arrived at the Cuidad Deportiva de Paterna.

Ruben Baraja, who was still a bit concerned for Izan, immediately arranged for the head physio to check Izan's condition.

"Haaaaah, this is bad". Ruben Baraja rose after hearing what the physio said. "What do you mean it's bad. He can walk just fine, and he doesn't look to be in pain".

"He doesn't look to be in pain because the level of pain isn't much. This is a high ankle sprain and if nothing bad happens, he should be able to return in a month's time.

Of course, he can also return early if he is able to heal quickly, but we should not rush things as he is young and it could come back to bite him if we do not take care of it well enough".

Izan, who lay on the bed, looked at the two grown men who talked as if he wasn't there. He had felt the pain after the match but he thought he might be able to walk it off.
