Valencia left without left-backs as Vázquez injured and Gayà suspended

Valencia will be without both of their senior left-backs for their next match at Rayo Vallecano, according to a report by AS. Jesús Vázquez suffered a muscle injury in the defeat to Real Madrid at Mestalla and has undergone medical tests, with the club expecting him to miss the trip to Vallecas.

José Luis Gayà was sent off in the same game against Real Madrid, ruling him out of the Rayo fixture through suspension. The report says coach Javier Aguirre will have neither player available for the match in Vallecas in two weeks.

The club has not confirmed the extent of Vázquez's injury, and AS did not specify a recovery timeframe beyond the expected absence against Rayo.
