Having the striker back would be a huge boost for Valencia, as Duro has notched seven goals in 22 appearances in the current league campaign.

Impact It was not always pretty for Duro, but he got the job done in Valencia's 1-0 victory over Real Sociedad. In 90 minutes played, he netted the winning goal from three shots (one blocked, two on target), but did miss one big chance, lost the most duels of any player in the match with 12, and failed to complete his only dribble.

They will need another heroic effort from their striker on Saturday against Barcelona.
