Strasbourg have been handed a major boost ahead of their crucial semi-final second leg clash against Rayo Vallecano, with defender Valentin Barco confirmed to be back in contention.
The Argentine defender, who has been an important figure in Strasbourg's campaign, is now available for selection as the French side prepare to host the Spanish outfit in the return fixture.
Barco's return provides Strasbourg with additional defensive options and depth as they look to secure their place in the final. His availability will be welcomed by the coaching staff as they finalise their tactical approach for the decisive encounter.
The first leg of the semi-final saw the two sides lock horns, and with everything still to play for, Barco's presence could prove pivotal in what promises to be a tightly contested affair.
