Javi Alonso's reappearance in an official match with CD Tenerife's reserve team has brought significant relief to the player, who admitted the injury took longer to heal than expected. After playing his first minutes in the final stretch of the match against Yugo Socuéllamos, the midfielder spoke about the complexity of his months on the sidelines.

The return held deep emotional significance for Alonso, who had been away from competition for a long time. He emphasized that this injury made him appreciate the simple act of playing the most, highlighting his connection to the club he considers his life's club.

The metatarsal fracture was complicated by poor blood supply to the area, requiring multiple interruptions in treatment and the application of various therapies, including surgery. This process continued until he was able to resume normal training in recent weeks.

At 27 years old and with a history of serious injuries, Alonso did not hide the difficulty of the process but affirmed that he never considered giving up. His decision to compete with the reserve team was strategic, aiming to regain match fitness, a gamble that is now beginning to pay off. His goal is to make the most of every minute and contribute to the team in the final phase of the season.

The player also expressed gratitude for the unconditional support from his family, partner, teammates, and medical staff, considering them fundamental to his recovery. Furthermore, he feels part of the first team's current good form in their fight to return to professional football, expressing his desire for the club's objectives to be met.

Aitor Sanz is his main role model in the locker room, someone to look up to for his ability to overcome serious injuries. Alonso highlighted Sanz's constant support, who always encouraged him to keep going and to strengthen himself during this period. Finally, the footballer called on fans to support the reserve team in this crucial stage of the season, hoping to leave uncertainty behind and regain his best form.
