Pitarch (knee) is now training fully with the first team but needs to build up his muscle mass, according to coach Jose Mourinho, per Marca.
Analysis:Pitarch had been expected to face at least six weeks of inactivity after suffering a knee injury during the team's first preseason session, an issue that emerged just as the 18 year old was breaking into the first team rotation last season. His return to full training is an encouraging sign, though manager Mourinho's comments suggest he still needs time to regain the physical conditioning to be fully ready, with Federico Valverde and Bernardo Silva continuing to provide cover in midfield in the meantime.
