Impressing for Valladolid so far this season, Fresneda has become a regular fixture in Jose Rojo Martin’s side since September, chalking up 12 appearances across all competitions.
The right-back suffered a minor hamstring injury in October, which saw him miss LaLiga clashes against Espanyol, Celta Vigo and Real Sociedad.
