What happened in the first training session?

Levante UD returned to grass training on Monday, July 1, kicking off pre‑season under Luis Castro’s guidance. After weekend medical checks, the squad gathered at the Ciudad Deportiva for a session that blended gym work with tactical drills on the pitch.

How was the session structured?

The day began with activation exercises in the gym, focusing on mobility and strength. Players then moved to the field for routines designed by the coaching staff, emphasizing possession and high‑pressing. The session closed with a recovery phase and stretching back in the gym.

Which injuries remain unresolved?

Víctor García, who had been nursing a problem since May 17, was seen training without issue. Carlos Álvarez, however, is still without medical clearance after an ankle sprain; Alejandro Primo remains sidelined with a shoulder dislocation; and Unai Elgezabal continues to feel knee discomfort. These absences could shape the lineup for Saturday’s friendly against CD Leganés at 19:00.

Who featured in the squad?

Goalkeepers on the pitch were Pablo Campos, Dani Martín and Igor Galdín (B). Defenders included Adrián de la Fuente, Víctor García, Jeremy Toljan, Nacho Pérez, Jorge Cabello, Xavi Grande, Martín Krug (B) and Marc Santos (B). The midfield saw Jon Ander Olasagasti, Kervin Arriaga, Oriol Rey, Kareem Tunde, Paco Cortés, Tai Abed, Enzo Bardelli, Edgar Alcañiz and Alberto Calatrava (B). Up front, Roger Brugué, Iván Romero, Carlos Espí and Karl Etta Eyong trained, while the three injured players were listed as “out of squad”.

What’s next for Levante?

The granota side will keep training throughout the week at the Ciudad Deportiva, fine‑tuning tactics and fitness before the first friendly versus Leganés. The coaching staff will monitor the injured players closely to decide if they can join the starting eleven. With the new season looming, every detail matters to start the campaign on a positive note.
