Barcelona loanee eager to return after three months out with injury

Hector Fort was one of the few youngsters who left FC Barcelona on loan during the summer transfer window.

The 19-year-old La Masia graduate signed for Elche, managed by Eder Sarabia, where he has had a difficult season.

After all, just when he was gaining prominence in the team, Fort was sidelined with a serious shoulder injury that required him to undergo surgery.

Indeed, Fort has been out of action since late December, working on his recovery at the Barcelona facilities.

Buoyed by his imminent return, Fort could not hide his eagerness to get back to playing for Elche.
