Lucas Ocampos returned to training with Club de Fútbol Monterrey on Tuesday after recovering from a muscular injury. The Argentine forward worked with the medical staff during the international break and now aims to be in optimal shape for the return of official competition.
The club's objective is for Ocampos to contribute minutes this weekend in Matchday 11 of Liga MX, when Rayados visit Club América. Manager Matías Almeyda oversaw his session at El Barrial and the decision on whether he starts or comes off the bench will depend on his progress during the week and match-day conditions. Ocampos had missed a friendly against Atlante due to this issue.
His return is a boost for an attack that has scored 16 goals in nine games. Ocampos himself is the team's top scorer this season with five goals in seven appearances. The team is looking to improve its recent form, having managed just one win in its last five league matches. The last meeting between Monterrey and América ended in a 2-2 draw on September 3rd.
Monterrey currently sit 10th in the standings with 13 points from four wins, one draw and four losses. Their next fixture is precisely against the Azulcremas, who are second in the table, on October 11th.
