Valencia International Call Ups

Jonas, Diego Alves, and Sofiane Feghouli have all been called up by their respective national teams. Jonas and Diego Alves have been handed call ups for Brazil by manager Mano Manezes.  Jonas has seen time regularly under Manezes in the past, but with injuries to Robinho and Pato, he will hope to see more minutes in order to prove himself.  Diego Alves is also being given a chance to shine because of an injury to regular starter Julio Cesar. Excellent performances in the Champions League surely have won over Manezes and hopefully Diego Alves will be given a start in order to strut his stuff.  Sofiane Feghouli, on the other hand, has opted to take a senior call up from Algeria.  Feghouli has dual citizenship with Algeria and France and decided that opportunities with France would be too far and few between and has instead opted to join the Algerians.
