Espanyol have on Friday afternoon unveiled the club’s squad to face Sevilla in La Liga later tonight.

And one headline returnee features front and centre, in the form of captain Javi Puado.

Attacker Puado for his part spent the best part of the last month on the sidelines, owing to a knee injury suffered late in September.

En route to a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Real Betis, the 26-year-old limped out of proceedings with what was later confirmed to be ‘a sprain of the internal collateral ligament of his left knee’.

Puado had since managed a return to group activities in training this week, albeit with his status to feature against Sevilla later this evening having remained up in the air.

As alluded to above, though, those of an Espanyol persuasion can breathe a collective sigh of relief.

This comes amid confirmation that the club’s top scorer has been included in the matchday squad of players called upon by Manolo González, showcased in full below:
