Valencia striker Roberto Soldado has returned to full training with his team-mates and barring setbacks will be available for selection for los Che's second league game of the season against Racing Santander at the Mestalla.

Soldado suffered a minor hamstring tear in Valencia's pre-season friendly win away to Lecce and as a result had to sit out their season opener, a 3-1 win away to Malaga.

The 25-year-old's return to fitness is a boost for coach Unai Emery, who now has a full squad to choose from. Central defender David Navarro was withdrawn early from Monday's training session due to muscular discomfort but that was a precautionary measure and according to Super Deporte he is expected to be fit in time for Saturday.
