Real Oviedo has confirmed that Enzo Cazorla, son of former player Santi Cazorla, has already joined first team training. At 16 years old, the reserve team's playmaker has appeared for the first time with the blue team and is emerging as a possible incorporation for the Copa del Rey tie against CD Numancia, which will be played on Wednesday.
Enzo, who can play both inside and on the left wing, is still a second-year youth player. Despite his age, he has been a relevant player for Vetusta, with eight games in the Second RFEF, seven as a starter, two goals and several assists. His arrival at the club occurred after his father's return to Real Oviedo in the summer of 2023, when Santi Cazorla returned to his parent club and, two years later, led the team in its promotion to the First Division.
The youngster also shares the starting position with Xavi Vicente, a second-year centre-back who has also stood out for Vetusta since the start of the season. Real Oviedo, who finished on Saturday with a draw at home against Almería, are preparing for their last training session before traveling by bus to Soria, where they will face Numancia in the first round of the Copa del Rey at 8:00 p.m.
With the incorporation of Enzo Cazorla, the coaching staff seeks to strengthen the attack and have young options for the competition. The expectation is that the playmaker can provide dynamism and creativity to the blue team, while the team focuses on ensuring a good start in the cup and consolidating its position in the league.
