Valencia goalkeeper Santiago Canizares returned to training with the squad after recovering from the injury he suffered in Germany last week, while injured teammate David Silva sat out today's training session.

Canizares suffered an injury to his quadricep during the Champions League victory over Schalke 04 last week, and had to leave the field, but has also missed the league matches against Real Betis and Getafe, because of its persistence.

Teammate David Gimenez Silva injured his ankle while playing for the Spanish national team, but after the match with Getafe on Wednesday he told reporters that the pain seemed to have gone.

Valencia have been hit by a number of injuries this season, and in today’s training session it was the turn of Raul Albiol, who was treated after receiving a knock to his operated wrist.

Despite injuries to Edu, Caneira, Gavilan, and Vicente, the main absence was that of David Silva, who didn’t train with his teammates.

Quique Sanchez Flores’ squad will return to training on Saturday morning, before travelling to Huelva in the afternoon, where they will do battle with Recreativo on Sunday.
