Immobile back training after scare

Sevilla striker Ciro Immobile has returned to training for the first time since his injury scare against Watford last week.

The Italian was involved in a nasty clash of heads with an opponent during the recent 1-0 win at Vicarage Road and stayed down, before being given oxygen, strapped to a stretcher and placed in a neck brace.

He quickly reassured sevillista that the damage was not as serious as first thought, having suffered a broken nose, but Marca reports he took part in light training at the club’s Ciudad Deportiva complex on Monday.

Sevilla are currently preparing for their UEFA Super Cup encounter with Barcelona on August 11.
