Danny Röhl, Sheffield Wednesday manager, says he’s’very thrilled’ for Juan Delgado when he returned to the pitch at Middlewood Road.
Delgado’s first season in England has been frustrating in so many ways. He signed under Xisco and was a regular at Hillsborough, but an injury forced him to undergo a hip operation, effectively ruling him out for the season, and he was thus left unregistered by the Spaniard’s replacement.
Now, after being seen back out with his teammates in S6, Röhl thinks it’s a major step for the Chilean international, but he also admits that he still has to train alone on occasion.
“I think it’s important for him to be back on the grass,” the German remarked. “He’s started training with us, which is vital for him. But I’m also honest, and now we’re at a moment where we need a strong group that’s really ready to play, which means Juan will train individually at times…
“I’m very happy for him that he has made this huge step after a long time with treatments – it was really hard, and it’s important for him to be able to train again with his teammates.”
