A recovered Nani to help Valencia take on Barcelona

Valencia coach Cesare Prandelli will play a recovered striker Luis Almeida "Nani" on Saturday against Barcelona in the ninth round of La Liga football tournament.

Valencia will only be missing the injured Guilherme Siqueira, while Nani has already recovered from the muscle pains that put him out of the Gijon match last Sunday, reports Efe.

Prandelli called 20 players for Saturday's game, namely Alves, James, Ryan, Montoya, Cancelo, Santos, Abdennour, Garay, Mangala, Gaya, Suarez, Medran, Enzo, Parejo, Bakkali, Fede, Santi Mina, Nani, Munir and Rodrigo Moreno.
