This Thursday, December 8, is just three months since the injury Juanmi Jimenez, last season’s top scorer for Real Betis, who in the first match of the Europa League group stage, against HJK Helsinki, suffered a torn ligament in his left ankle, which is why he had to undergo surgery. “The recovery period depends on his evolution,” Real Betis reported on September 16, a week after the injury and just after surgery.
At that time, some media speculations estimated at least four months – and up to six – the recovery period of Juanmi, that before the end of the three months of injury, he was training normally with the group, as seen this Wednesday in the Luis del Sol sports city, where the first team of Real Betis held its second work session after two weeks of vacation which is enjoyed by most of the campus.
From a few days after the intervention, Juanmi he began the courageous rehabilitation work during these three months that paid off, as the footballer managed to reduce the deadlines for this type of injury and should be able to play when Real Betis resumes the League on December 29 against Athletic, although they will certainly do it before one of the three friendlies that the Verdiblanco team will play these days at Benito Villamarín. Juanmi is, without a doubt, the best signing for Pellegrini this Christmas, where he is also recovering Joaquin and Luiz Felipe, less seriously injured and who, like Juanmi, has recovered.
