Fidel Escobar has returned to training after a long recovery from injury. The Deportivo Saprissa and Panama national team central defender noted that this was the longest injury of his football career. 'In my career, this has been the longest injury, but I also have to thank everyone at Saprissa, like the physios, the readaptation coach, the doctor, they were always there,' Escobar said. He also added that he went through a rehabilitation process and continues to strengthen his muscles in the gym. Escobar is cautiously approaching the possibility of being called up to the national team for the 2026 World Cup. 'My dream since I was a child is to play in a World Cup, I lived it in 2018, and now it's my second chance. But first, I have to get well prepared,' the footballer stated. Recall that Escobar suffered from a herniated disc in his back, which kept him off the field since December.
