Returns to training Musah (strain) participated in Tuesday's training session ahead of Friday's trip to Osasuna, according to El Desmarque.

Impact Musah also trained Monday and should be soon back in the starting lineup once fit. He's logged two assists in five starts to open the season, earning more plaudits with his play each week and tracking well ahead of the World Cup. When he does play, Ilaix Moriba is likely to return to the bench.

Ruled out of national team camp Musah (undisclosed) will remain in Valencia during the September international break as he recovers from a knock, with Johnny Cardoso set to replace him in the USMNT camp.

Impact Musah hasn't officially been ruled out for Valencia's La Liga clash against Celta Vigo on Saturday, but he's a doubt after not training with the team on Friday and then being dropped from the national team camp so that he could focus on his recovery. Andre Almeida and Ilaix Moriba are both options to replace him in Valencia's XI in midfield if necessary.
