Aitana Bonmatí Continues Recovery from Fibula Fracture

FC Barcelona midfielder Aitana Bonmatí is making steady progress in her rehabilitation from a transsyndesmotic fracture of the fibula in her left ankle. The three-time Ballon d’Or winner has begun training on the pitch at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper, marking a significant milestone in her recovery process.

Surgery and Initial Recovery

Bonmatí underwent surgery in December to address the fracture as reported by FC Barcelona’s official website. The initial recovery period was estimated to be around five months. Since the surgery, she has been diligently working through a rehabilitation program, initially focusing on gym-based exercises.

Return to the Pitch

The latest phase of Bonmatí’s recovery involves exercises on the pitch. While ball work is not yet included, the fact that she is running on the grass at the training ground is considered positive news. FC Barcelona’s Spanish-language website also confirmed this progression.

Focus on Recovery

Bonmatí remains fully focused on her recovery, taking a step-by-step approach to regain her fitness. She is considered one of the best players in the world and continues to concentrate on returning to the field. According to FC Barcelona’s Catalan-language website, she is progressing “pas a pas” (step by step).
