Baptiste Santamaria
31-Year-Old
Valencia
La Liga
Illness cleared ahead of Saturday
Santamaria (illness) has returned to team training after recovering from gastroenteritis and is available for Saturday's clash against Girona, according to Tribuna Deportiva.
ANALYSIS
Santamaria's return to training is a positive development, though his role remains limited given that he has not played a single minute since February. The midfielder figures to serve as a depth option rather than a starter, with coach Carlos Corberan unlikely to hand him to the lineup after such a lengthy spell on the periphery.

The Clarets are in dire need of midfielder reinforcements, and Santamaria certainly fits the bill of the type of player they're looking for. The Frenchman, 25, was the subject of a £12m bid by Aston Villa last year.
