Valencia have a near fully fit squad to choose from. They home team will be boosted by the return of three key players from suspension for Friday’s clash, with Luis Rioja, Jose Gaya, and Dimitri Foulquier all back in contention for selection. Gaya and Foulquier are expected to slot straight back into the starting XI in the wing-back roles. However, they’ll still be without Cristian Rivero and Thierry Correia, who remain sidelined with injuries.
Valencia Probable Starting Lineup:
Mamardashvili; Foulquier, Mosquera, Tarrega, Diakhaby, Gaya; D Lopez, Guerra, Barrenechea, Almeida; Duro
Sevilla continue to struggle with injury concerns ahead of their trip to Valencia. Attacker Ruben Vargas is a major doubt after being forced off early in the loss to Atletico Madrid. Akor Adams and Tanguy Nianzou are also likely to miss out due to muscle issues. Nemanja Gudelj could be drafted into the team to solidify the defense. Chidera Ejuke and Isaac Romero should replace Vargas and Adams respectively.
