Manchester United loanee Anthony Martial has already sealed a return to Sevilla training following a recent injury setback.
The Frenchman, who joined the Spanish club on loan for the remainder of the season in the January transfer window, was forced off inside half an hour of their 1-1 draw with Espanyol on February 20. He limped off and the initial prognosis did not make good reading, with it expected that he could be set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
However, Sevilla, on Wednesday morning, confirmed that the United loanee had returned to first-team training in a Twitter post. Sharing a picture of the versatile attacker smiling, they posted: "Nice to have you back, Tony!"

The former AS Monaco man, who has scored one goal in four appearances since making the move to the Spanish club, joined Sevilla in pursuit of regular first-team football and scored on his third appearance for the club, netting their third goal in a 3-1 win over Dinamo Zagreb in the Europa League last month.
However, it was against Espanyol, just three days later, that he picked up his injury, which resulted in him holding his left leg whilst receiving lengthy treatment. Sevilla never disclosed the extent of the injury and confirmed over the weekend that they planned to keep it under wraps.
"They want to know questions related to injuries, but each club has its strategy," Sevilla president Jose Castro said. "We do what we understand is the best.
"Everything ends up being known before each match. "I understand everyone, but the club has its own way of proceeding for what it understands to be the ideal, just as other clubs do."
But having now returned to training, Martial will now be hoping to be fit enough to feature in Friday's clash with Alaves. He has only missed two matches during his spell on the sidelines, meaning he has not missed too many opportunities to get his career back on track after a difficult spell at Old Trafford.
The forward will return to England later this month for a Europa League clash with West Ham United at the London Stadium on March 17. The Hammers travel to Spain for the first-leg next week.
