Suffers new injury in training
Ortiz (hamstring) has been confirmed with a myofascial injury to the biceps femoris in his left thigh after withdrawing from Tuesday's team training session, ruling him out for the remainder of the season, according to the club.
Analysis: Ortiz had only just returned to full team training after recovering from a shoulder injury suffered in March, making this latest setback a cruel end to what had been a difficult campaign for the right-back. Ortiz ends the season with 19 appearances (12 starts), contributing 40 tackles, 36 clearances and nine chances created before his year was cut short by a second significant injury. His return to the group will depend entirely on the evolution of the injury, with the club providing no specific timeline for his recovery.
Trains normally Tuesday
Ortiz (shoulder) has been training normally without any issues since last week and is on track for Sunday's clash against Real Oviedo, according to Zona Mixta.
Analysis: Ortiz had been ruled out of Friday's clash against Real Madrid as he continued to work through the shoulder issue, but his clean training sessions over the past week are the clearest sign yet that he is ready to return. The right-back should push to make the squad against Oviedo, although Hector Bellerin should remain the starter in the back line for the final stretch of the season.
