Real Oviedo's attempt to regroup after relegation from La Liga has hit an unexpected obstacle — wild boars have been causing repeated disruptions at the club's training ground.

The Spanish side dropped out of the top flight last season and were hoping to use the off-season to rebuild and prepare for a promotion push. Instead, they have found themselves dealing with an unusual wildlife problem that has complicated their preseason work.

Wild boars have struck the training facility on multiple occasions, leaving staff and players to contend with the damage and interruptions the animals cause. The incidents have added to what is already a difficult period for the Asturian club as they look to find their footing in the second tier.

Real Oviedo now face the dual challenge of plotting a route back to La Liga while managing an increasingly persistent pest problem at their base of operations.
