Etebo’s Comeback Spurs Hopes for Las Palmas’ Survival Amid LaLiga Battles

Nigerian midfielder Oghenekharo Etebo has marked his return to training with Spanish club Las Palmas after a three-week absence due to an ankle injury, reported by Completesportsnigeria.com. Etebo had suffered the injury during Las Palmas’ 2-0 LaLiga defeat to Villarreal last month, subsequently missing crucial league encounters against Real Madrid and Deportivo La Coruna, as well as Nigeria’s friendlies against Poland and Serbia.

The 22-year-old, pivotal to Las Palmas’ aspirations, resumed first-team training on Tuesday, gearing up for his club’s upcoming fixture against Malaga. Sharing a training picture on his Instagram page, Etebo captioned, “Ready for the challenges ahead #neverGiveup#EK#VamosUD.”

His return signals a significant boost for Las Palmas as they endeavor to maneuver themselves out of the relegation danger zone. Positioned 17th in the LaLiga standings with 21 points from 30 games, Las Palmas aims to capitalize on Etebo’s comeback to fortify their campaign to secure their top-flight status.

Las Palmas faces a critical run-in with fixtures against Levante, Real Sociedad, Real Betis, Alaves, Espanyol, Getafe, Eibar, and Girona remaining in their season’s schedule. Etebo’s reintegration into the squad injects optimism and strength into Las Palmas’ quest to secure vital points in these decisive encounters.

The midfielder’s swift recovery not only bolsters Las Palmas’ midfield options but also underlines his determination to contribute significantly to his club’s battle against relegation in the fiercely competitive LaLiga.
