Franca (groin) has been sidelined for eight months due to a groin injury, which has hindered the young Brazilian's adaptation to the Premier League. Recently, he experienced a setback in his recovery, prompting the team to take a cautious approach in his rehabilitation, coach Oliver Glasner updated. "He's training again. It was just a setback. It's not a new injury. He just got a little bit of reaction in his hip area. The surgery and all the problems in the last month. He's now been out for eight months and we are very cautious. It's important to get him back into the best shape, on a very stable level, with training and playing. Then we want to see the best Franca possible. To be honest, Crystal Palace has yet to see the best Franca, because of coming over from Brazil as a 19-year-old boy and taking time to adapt to the Premier League. Then being out for eight months. We are now supporting him to show the best Franca he can be. Then, I believe, he will have a very positive impact on us."
ANALYSIS
Franca is nearing a return, but the medical staff is cautious after a recent setback in his recovery. The team is optimistic about his potential and wants him fully fit and recovered to maintain consistent performance.
