Aspe have announced that Abel Barriola is set to return from the injury which has sidelined him for nearly a year. The defender tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee in a doubles match last April. Initial reports suggested that he may return within five or six months but this proved optimistic. However, Barriola is once again raring to go, and will play his comeback match at his home fronton in Leitza on Friday 12th March. He will play with Berasaluze IX against Idoate and Goni III in a game which will be broadcast live on ETB-Sat.
