Federico Valverde News: Starting as expected

Valverde (leg) is in the starting XI for Tuesday's clash with Osasuna, as expected.

Valverde is back in the starting XI despite a leg issue that held him out for the final pre-season friendly. There was no serious concern that the issue would be long-term as soon as he was included in the traveling squad for Tuesday's match. Valverde's presence keeps Dani Ceballos on the bench for Tuesday's opener.
