Team News: Sergio Garcia passed fit for Espanyol

Espanyol's leading goalscorer this season, Sergio Garcia, has been passed fit to start in this afternoon's visit to Osasuna in the Primera Division.

The 30-year-old, who has hit seven goals for the Catalan club this term, sat out Thursday's training session with a fever.

However, the striker has recovered from sickness to take his place in coach Javier Aguirre's first XI.

Likewise, Osasuna have called on their leading marksman, Oriol Riera, to fire them to victory over the Barcelona outfit today.

The 27-year-old, who also has seven goals in La Liga thus far, leads the line for the Pamplona-based club.
