Rodrigo Huescas returns to training with FC Copenhagen after year-long absence

Mexican defender Rodrigo Huescas has reached a major milestone in his recovery, rejoining full training sessions with FC Copenhagen. The defender has been sidelined for nearly a year following a severe knee injury sustained last October during a UEFA Champions League match against Qarabag.

The ligament injury proved costly, forcing Huescas to miss almost the entire 2025-26 season and keeping him out of the 2026 World Cup squad for Mexico. Now, the player's primary objective is to regain his match fitness and fight for a spot in the Danish club's starting XI.

The club aims for Huescas to be available for selection following the upcoming September and October international break. This return is a significant step for the player, who is looking to regain the form that originally earned him a move from Cruz Azul to European football.
