Valente back in training

Last updated : 22 November 2005 By Austin Rathe

The left back, who only arrived at Goodison in the summer, has been out of action for the last month with a hamstring injury.

Everton physio Mick Rathbone said: "He did well in training on Monday, and afterwards he told me he`d felt completely OK."

Matteo Ferrari is also close to a first team return, giving David Moyes some much needed competition for places.
