On-loan Leeds United winger Largie Ramazani looks set to end a frustrating period with Valencia after being pictured in training.

As Daniel Farke struggles to set up his Leeds side to consistently threaten in attack, exiled winger Largie Ramazani looks set to make his return to action.

Fan favourite Ramazani was allowed to leave Leeds on a season-long loan in the closing days of the summer transfer window, having been deemed surplus to requirements by Farke.

Ramazani secured a return to La Liga, linking up with former Leeds man Carlos Corberan at Valencia, but has struggled to make an impact this season.

Having played just 85 minutes for Valencia, Ramazani suffered an injury which has ruled him out of his side’s last five games. However, he looks set to make his return to action after being pictured in training with the team.

Valencia shared a post on their Instagram account which showed Largie Ramazani training with the team, as they prepare to face Rayo Vallecano on 1st December.

Ramazani last played a competitive game at the beginning of October, when he appeared for 18 minutes as a substitute in a 2-1 defeat against Girona.

The on-loan Leeds man has found his opportunities limited since joining Valencia, with his longest contribution coming in the 6-0 defeat against Barcelona, when he made a 33-minute cameo from the bench.

His only goal contribution came in his first appearance, when he registered an assist with one of his first touches in a 3-0 win over Getafe, according to FotMob.

Having endured a frustrating start to life at the Mestalla, Ramazani will be hoping that he can secure a run of regular games, having also seen his opportunities limited in the Championship last season.

Leeds-linked manager Carlos Corberan will be relieved to see Ramazani nearing his return to action, having managed a run of injuries at the start of the current season.

According to Spanish publication Diario AS, Ramazani could make an immediate return to the Valencia squad for the game on Monday as they look to maintain their recent upturn in results.

Pep Guardiola doesn’t agree with Daniel Farke sacking calls…

“You are able to make good runs of results, but at the end you can make bad results and continue. Because the opponents are tough. Every opponent is really prepared. They have long weeks to prepare.  So it’s so demanding. So you have to be ready.”

AS report: “Ramazani was the main focus of [Valencia’s training] session, as he trained with the rest of his teammates a month and a half after suffering an injury.”

Before continuing: “If all goes well and his progress this week is favourable, Ramazani could be a key addition to the squad for the match against Rayo Vallecano.”
