Negredo back for Valencia, Nuno says

Valencia will include Alvaro Negredo in their squad to play Elche after Coach Nuno Santo confirmed the striker is fit again.

Negredo moved to Valencia on a season-long loan from Manchester City over the summer but injury has restricted his involvement with Los Che.

But at a Press conference to preview Valencia’s game against Elche, Nuno revealed Negredo would be involved.

“Yes, he has been called and he is ready to help,” Marca reports the Coach as saying.

“We’ve analysed the game against Deportivo La Coruna and we’ve worked on the conclusions for Elche.

“We want to play well in front of our fans and we want the security of Mestalla helping us.

“It wasn’t a disastrous game but there are details we need to correct, individual moments of concentration.

“We’re convinced we’re going to do that. With due respect to Elche, I’m convinced we will win.”

There have been reports that Peter Lim is close to completing his purchase of the club and Nuno said he expects the deal to be done soon.

“Everything is just waiting for a signature,” he said.

“I haven’t spoken to Peter Lim. What I know is that if everything works out, then I will.

“Peter is always with us, he’s important for the club, the fans and the player and he’s always with us.”
