Roberto Soldado back by end of week

Valencia striker Roberto Soldado is likely to be back to full training by the end of this week.

The Spain international has been suffering from a sprained ankle injury he sustained in Los Che's 3-0 home victory over Real Betis in La Liga earlier this month.

Soldado is now recovering from the injury that showed swelling to the joint and could be back in training with the rest of the squad.

Valencia are currently fifth in La Liga with 45 points from 28 matches.
