PREVIEW: XEREZ - HERCULES
Arch Bell - Friday, April 10, 2009
Josmer Altidore and Xerez welcome Hercules CF to the Estadio Chapin in a match with major consequences in the ever-tightening race for promotion to the Spanish Primera Division.

It will be the first match on the gameday roster for the young American striker after his loan move from Villareal in January. Head coach Esteban Vigo may look to bring on the young New Jersey born striker as a substitute during Saturday's game.

Liga Adelante leaders Xerez, coming off a hard earned 2-1 road win at Murcia, will face off against the second place club from Valencia on Saturday with a mere four points separating the top five teams in Spain's second division..

Following his outstanding play during the U.S. National Team's World Cup qualifiers against El Salvador and Trinidad & Tobago, Altidore's training has merited Vigo's to include the youngster in the list of available players.

Xerez will be without the services of midfielder Pedro Rios and defender Silva Linares due to knee injuries and defender Jesus Mendoza due to suspension.

Hercules, who throttled bottom feeder Sevilla Atletico 8-0 at home, will make the trip to Andalucia without midfielders Alvaro Camara and Fernando Sales who are both suffering from knee and leg injuries.
