The difficult end of the season for Las Palmas is sweetened by the best possible news for the club from the Canary Islands: Captain Kirian Rodriguez has returned to training.
The 29-year-old midfielder was forced to stop the season in February, after a routine check-up found he was facing lymphatic cancer. Kirian treated the situation calmly and decisively, immediately withdrawing to pursue a treatment of chemotherapy.
According to reports by Cadena Cope, Kirian has already received medical permission for full return. The club also confirmed the news on social networks with a touching message: “with the same commitment and energy that is contagious, the return path begins. ”
It has already been seen in presean training with fellow players, and it seems to be gradually becoming fully shaped.
This is the second time Kirian has overcome this serious illness. In 2022 he received the same diagnosis and spent most of the season recovering. With Las Palmas racing for climb, he made a grand comeback in the last five season matches in Segunda, where he started at four.
He provided a crucial assist in the pre-lasting match, helping the team secure the automatic climb to La League after six years of absence. As local people from the Canary Islands, Kirian is a beloved figure for fans in Gran Canaria, and his stay throughout this period has been a real inspiration without mentioning his excellent field performance.
After being separated from coach Diego Martinez, Las Palmas has named as new coach Luis Garcia Plaza, known for his ability to restore elite teams, recently with Alaves. He will work with a significantly transformed team after having removed names like Alberto Moleiro, Javi Muñoz, Alex Muñoz, Scott McKenna, Olli McBurnie, Jose Champina, Jasper Cillessen and Benito Ramirez, as well as some important loans, including Fabio Silva.
