Valencia recover second key player from injury ahead of relegation clash against Las Palmas

Valencia has had a very tough start to the season, and with a quarter of that done, they are in the relegation places in La Liga. They have a golden opportunity to move up the table on Monday when they face fellow strugglers Las Palmas, the only winless team in Spanish football's top flight.

Earlier this week, Valencia were boosted by confirmation that Jose Gaya is now fit to return to action after five months out with a hamstring injury. Not only, MD have reported that Hugo Duro is also back in training after a minor knock that caused him to miss the friendly against Mexico last weekend.

Duro scored two of Valencia five goals in La Liga this season, and there is no doubt that he is the star striker in Ruben Baraja's team. Barring any setback, he should be able to start against Las Palmas at Mestalla.
