Zaid Romero is back

Argentine defender Zaid Romero returns to training after a month out with a quadriceps injury suffered against Barcelona on October 10.

Getafe defender Zaid Romero has returned to full training after recovering from a quadriceps muscle injury sustained on October 10 against Barcelona at Camp Nou. The Argentine centre-back missed nearly a month of action and is now available for selection.

Romero's return comes at a critical time for Getafe's defence, which has lost much of its early-season solidity during his absence. Manager José Bordalás is expected to consider him for Thursday's Conference League match against Brighton, where Getafe will look to improve on a poor European campaign that has yielded just one point from two matches and six goals conceded.

The 25-year-old had become a key player in Bordalás's system before his injury, offering defensive solidity and versatility across the back line. His presence should help shore up a defence that has struggled in recent weeks.
