Javi Hernández has rejoined RCD Espanyol's full training after recovering from a small muscle injury in his left obturator that forced his withdrawal from Spain's U-21 squad. The defender will be available for manager Manolo González ahead of Friday's 21:00 visit to La Rosaleda to face Málaga. Espanyol remain without internationals Roberto Fernández and Vanja Drkusic, expected back Thursday, while Javi Puado continues his recovery from a January ACL injury and Kike García is not expected back until December.
