Alexander Oroz has been without football for just over seven months. The young player tore his knee ligaments and had to undergo surgery, which is why he missed the entire final part of the 2023 season and this year he could not be considered by Jorge Almirón, at the start of his cycle with Colo Colo.
Oroz’s evolution has progressed within the established deadlines and he is already playing football at the Monumental. His return to the fields is scheduled for the second semester. There a tough prospect awaits him, since he will have to convince Almirón and thus earn a space in the Alba rotation.
But despite the gradual nature of his recovery, Jorge Almirón has already been able to get an idea of the characteristics that the youth squad offers. And for the same reason, he assured in a press conference that he is pleasantly surprised with them and that he will use them during the second part of the year.
“It has been a very short time since the injury, because it is a long injury. Several studies must be done to measure various things“Almirón pointed out at the outset when asked by a journalist. From there, there were only compliments for the one trained in the Monumental.
Alexander Oroz leaves Jorge Almirón surprised in Colo Colo
“I didn’t know him and I’m pleasantly surprised.. He has good things, as a forward he makes me interesting. Today he is in the process of full recovery and we hope to have him back soon. We are going to advance in training and he will be taken into account,” he emphasized.
It is worth remembering that Alexander Oroz returned to the club at the beginning of 2022 after a loan to Deportes Iquique. In Tierra de Campeones, in Primera B, he scored eight goals in 31 games. After that he returned to Monumental, where he has sought to make room for himself in the first team.
During 2022 he played 22 games, scoring 3 goals, while, until October 2023, he managed to play 10 games, with two goals scored. At 21 years old, he hopes to make the big leap after this recovery and thus establish himself as a real chance in Colo Colo’s attack.
In their favor is the lack of scorers that Popular has. Jorge Almirón’s team has been characterized by a significant lack of specialists in the field and for this reason, if he scores a good number of goals in his return, he could quickly gain a place on the team.
