José Copete returned to action with Valencia last Tuesday, in the Copa del Rey first-round win over Tavernes de la Valldigna, after more than eight months out. The centre-back injured his left knee on 22 February against Villarreal and had two operations.
According to Mundo Deportivo, the defender described the injury on social media as a nightmare, but says he can finally say he is back. He thanked those around him for their support during the process and said he was proud of the effort and patience it required.
The club also welcomes back Dimitri Foulquier, while Diego López and Sergi Canós are still to return.
