Sousa has strong squad to pick from

07 August 2009 09:35
Full-back Angel Rangel has handed the Portuguese coach a boost by completely shaking off the heel injury that curtailed his season last time out, while Marcos Painter is back after missing the majority of the last campaign with a knee problem. Long-term casualty Ferrie Bodde remains on the sidelines with a knee injury suffered in November but he is nearing a return, while Darren Pratley (shoulder) and Thomas Butler (hernia) are both missing following surgery. Summer signing Jordi Lopez should play some part after improving his fitness while Stephen Dobbie will lead the line on what will be his competitive debut.
