Good news for Ilias Akhomach. The Moroccan international is finally set to return to action after nine months out due to a torn cruciate ligament.

The 21-year-old winger suffered a serious injury during a Liga 2024-2025 match against Deportivo Alavés on November 9, 2024. Having opened the scoring in his team's 3-0 win that day, the former Barça Atlètic player hasn't featured since.

The Yellow Submarine announced the return of the Atlas Lion to action in a post on their official X account.

The native of Hostalets de Pierola will gradually return to training to avoid any risk of relapse. While he is unlikely to feature in the league opener against Real Oviedo, his comeback shouldn’t be far off.
