Havana, October 2 (RHC)-- Valencia Basket confirmed on its website the call-up of Havana-born basketball player Jasiel Rivero for this Saturday's visit to Casademont Zaragoza, in the fourth round of the Endesa League, in Spain.

The game will also be the first time that the Taronja team will officially face the former coach of the three previous seasons, Jaume Ponsarnau.

Joan Peñarroya's disciples will try to extend their good dynamic as visitors in that court, where they have won in their last six games, to try to balance their balance in the league, in a game in which the taronja coach recovers the Cuban Rivero, who will make his debut with Valencia Basket in official commitments.

The Havana native missed the semifinal of the Super Cup and the first three official games of the season due to a muscle injury in the rectus anterior of his left leg, but he is already recovered, since Tuesday he trains with the rest of his teammates and could have some minutes on the court of the Príncipe Felipe court.

About the Cuban power forward, coach Peñarroya said that "this Friday is the first time that he is going to do the whole training session, he had not yet completed any of them at 100%, but he is fine and he will surely help us".

Valencia Basket occupies the eleventh position in the Endesa League with a 1-2 record. They debuted with a 67×72 loss at home against Baskonia, then as visitors they beat Baxi Manresa 89×69 and in the most recent game they lost 86×91 at home against Murcia.

Meanwhile, their rival Casademont is in sixth place with two wins and one loss. The team from the city of Zaragoza opened with two consecutive wins, 98×91 against Manresa and 100×76 against Surne, before losing 75×54 against Hereda San Pablo Burgos, former team of the Antillean Rivero.
