"Se va a recuperar" or "va a recuperase".

You can place the pronoun before the verb or attached to the end, but not in the middle when a perífrasis verbal is involved.

se va a ir = va a irse = va a se ir
puede casarse = se puede casar = puede se casar
están subiéndose = se están subiendo = están se subiendo

Examples with are so abnormal that native speakers can't even parse them.
