Rubén Vargas’ Recovery Progress: A Key Return for Sevilla

omidbasir- In the match between Sevilla and Celta de Vigo on January 12 at the Sánchez-Pizjuán, a poignant moment occurred when Rubén Vargas covered his face with his jersey while exiting the pitch due to injury just minutes after his return. This marks the fourth muscle injury for the Swiss player in ten months. The recovery prognosis for this latest injury to his left hamstring is estimated to be between five to seven weeks, and he has already reached the five-week mark.

Coach Almeyda has lost a pivotal player like Vargas during a critical period for the team. Additionally, the club was counting on a significant sale in the winter transfer market, and the winger was a candidate for that move; however, this setback has effectively stalled his departure. Coincidentally, while Vargas has been on the field, Sevilla recorded five victories; in contrast, they have managed only two wins—against Oviedo and Athletic—since his absence in November.

According to Canal Sur Radio, the Swiss player is expected to begin field training with his teammates next week, gradually reintegrating into the team’s routine. The club is proceeding with caution to prevent any further setbacks, but Vargas is now ready for the next phase of his recovery.

The Sevilla number 11 has been sharing images of his recovery process on social media, much to the delight of the fans. In the 13 matches he has played in LaLiga, he has scored three goals and provided four assists, two of which have been crucial for securing points for the team. With Sevilla fighting for survival and a squad lacking in quality, Almeyda eagerly awaits his return.
