Training with squad, still doubtful
Mayoral (knee) is back in team training but remains a doubt for Sunday's clash against Rayo Vallecano, according to coach Jose Bordalas. "He is working with the group and we are happy. It is good news, although we are in the final stretch of the season. Good news for him, good news for us. We are observing him day by day to see his condition and his level to be able to use him and have him help us in the remaining games. But the day-to-day will guide us because he has been training with the group for only a short time."
Analysis: Mayoral's return from the emergency knee surgery he underwent in late December is a remarkable turnaround, but the limited training time he has had makes his involvement against Rayo far from guaranteed. The Madrid-born forward remains Getafe's second-highest scorer this season with four goals despite missing almost half the campaign, and getting him available would be a major boost for a side still pushing hard for European qualification. Martin Satriano and Luis Vazquez have contributed seven goals between them during his absence and will continue to lead the line until coach Bordalas is confident Mayoral is ready to contribute.
Returns to team training
Mayoral (knee) returned to team training alongside his teammates, bringing an end to a lengthy absence that began with emergency knee surgery in late December, according to Alvaro Ramos of Diario AS.
Analysis: Mayoral's comeback is a remarkable turnaround given the severity of the initial concern, with the club having considered freeing up his registration to sign a replacement striker during the January window before ultimately deciding against it. The Madrid-born forward remains Getafe's second-highest scorer this season with four goals despite missing almost half the campaign, underlining just what a key figure he was before the injury struck. His return comes at the perfect time for coach Jose Bordalas' side, who have five crucial fixtures remaining in their push for European qualification, though Mayoral will need to battle for his place given the strong form of Martin Satriano and Luis Vazquez, who have contributed seven goals between them during his absence. Getting him back available is nonetheless a major morale boost for both staff and supporters heading into what promises to be a thrilling final stretch.
