Pedro Elawar's Injury Recovery and Exeter City's Pre-Season Hopes
Exeter City's Pedro Elawar has been out of action for 15 months due to a serious knee injury, but he's now back in training and hopeful to restart his career with the Grecians.
What happened?
Elawar suffered a meniscus tear in April 2025 and underwent two surgeries, one in June and another in September. The 21-year-old has been working hard to regain his fitness and is finally back on the pitch.
Why it matters for Exeter City Football Club
Elawar's return is a boost for the team, which is currently 54 points behind leaders Lincoln in the League One table. With 52 goals scored and 61 conceded this season, the Grecians are looking to improve their performance and make a push for the playoffs.
What comes next?
Elawar is out of contract at the end of the season, and with City putting a renewed focus on the academy, he has a chance to prove himself and earn a new deal. The 21-year-old is determined to make an impact for the team and is working hard to simplify his game and be as effective as possible.
Elawar recently made the decision to change his shirt name to honor his family roots, and is now known as Pedro Elawar rather than Pedro Borges. The change is a testament to his commitment to his heritage and his desire to connect with his family's history.
As Exeter City prepares for the new season, Elawar is eager to make a positive impact and help the team achieve its goals. With his injury recovery complete, he's ready to take on the challenge and prove himself as a valuable member of the squad.
League standing (final 2025 table -- new season not yet under way): 21st in League One, 49 pts, 12W-13D-21L from 46 games, recent form LDDDW.
