Espanyol's Oscar Duarte: Faces late test on Sunday

Duarte returned to training this past week, but still faces a late test ahead of Sunday's match against Alaves.

Analysis:

The return of Duarte would be a nice boost for Espnayol on the back line. That said, Espnayol have three straight clean sheets in all competitions, so he may not be put right back in the starting lineup even if ready.
