Valencia star returns to training ahead of Girona clash | OneFootball

La Liga outfit Valencia have on Thursday been afforded some altogether positive news on the personnel front.

This comes amid confirmation that Luis Rioja has returned to training alongside the rest of Carlos Corberán’s squad.

Winger Rioja has for his part played a starring role for a struggling Valencia across the season to date, featuring from the off in all but two of the club’s league outings.

And, along the way, the 31-year-old has chipped in with a solid haul of five goals and two assists.

In turn, it no doubt came as a source of concern for Los Che’s supporters when, on Wednesday, word was forthcoming that Rioja had been forced to sit out training.

This came owing to a muscle strain in his right thigh.

As alluded to above, though, the Valencia faithful need not fret.

As per a report from Mundo Deportivo:

‘Luis Rioja will be available to travel to Girona. The Valencia winger trained normally on Thursday after quickly recovering from a muscle strain in his right thigh.’
