The young player has already practiced with his colleagues at Abegondo after being called up from his loan at Arenteiro. After Lucas Pérez left Deportivo, he became the team’s first winter addition. After an emotional and demanding day yesterday, which included Lucas Pérez’s farewell, Deportivo resumed training on Thursday morning. The team continues to get ready for Saturday’s game against Levante at Riazor (18:30 hours), now without their skipper.
The club formally announced Diego Gómez’s return from loan at Arenteiro early in the morning, making his attendance the session’s most notable news. The 20-year-old winger has done exceptionally well and was one of nine players loaned out throughout the summer. After starting all 20 games and scoring four goals, he became a leader for the unexpected Arenteiro team, which is now vying for playoff berths in the Primera RFEF.
Should Óscar Gilsanz decide to add him, the native of Ourense will be totally fit and ready to play against Levante. Diego would make his professional football debut if he plays on Saturday, but not with Deportivo. Under Idiakez’s coaching, he made four appearances for Riazor in a league game against Cornellà (1-1) in the 2023–2024 season.
Goalie Alberto, who will join the first team dynamic and assume the role of third-choice goalkeeper after Eric Puerto’s loan to Marbella, was another noteworthy participant in the training session. The only two people who did not attend the training session were Escudero and Patiño.
