Thierry Rendall plays again 322 days later
The Valencia CF full-back, recovered from his anterior cruciate ligament tear, returned to competition against FC Barcelona at the Estadi Johan Cruyff
Kevin Gameiro is back in the Valencia CF squad this weekend, returning to action for the game against SD Huesca. The striker has a target in sight, which is to score against one of only three current LaLiga sides that have not received goals from the Frenchman.
Of the top flight teams, Gameiro has only missing Real Madrid, Huesca and Cadiz from his ‘hitlist.’ Whilst he has never played against the newly promoted southern Spanish side, he has featured against Huesca on one occasion: A 2-6 away win at El Alcoraz.
Coach Javi Gracia was asked about Gameiro in his pre-match press conference, and said that the forward “is going to be an important player in the future, with proven quality and characteristics that maybe other strikers don’t have.”
GAMEIRO GOALS AGAINST PRIMERA DIVISIÓN CLUBS:
6 goals against: Granada CF, Real Betis, FC Barcelona, Levante UD and Athletic Club.
5 against: Real Sociedad.
4 against: RC Celta and Valencia CF.
3 against: Getafe CF, SD Eibar and Deportivo Alavés.
2 against: Real Valladolid and Elche CF.
1 against: Villarreal CF, CA Osasuna and Atletico Madrid.
