Salas (undisclosed) is fully fit and available for Monday's La Liga clash against Levante after recovering from his recent injury, according to coach Luis Garcia. "Salas is 100% fit. If the Antonio Puerta Trophy, with all due respect, had been an official match, he might have played."
Analysis:Salas is ready to return to competitive action after missing Sevilla's last league match against Barcelona and the Antonio Puerta Trophy against Aston Villa. The defender used the extended international break to complete his recovery and should be in contention to reclaim his starting role against Levante. He had established himself as a key figure in Sevilla's defense before his absence, averaging a team-high 5.4 clearances per match. Andres Castrin and Arouna Sangante are expected to compete for the remaining center-back spot if Salas returns to the starting lineup.
