Valencia faces left-back shortage for Rayo Vallecano trip

What happened

Valencia will be without both of their recognised left-backs for the upcoming visit to Vallecas to face Rayo Vallecano, according to AS. José Gayà is suspended after being sent off against Real Madrid, and Jesús Vázquez was injured during that same match.

Report details

AS reports that Vázquez wants to play against Rayo Vallecano but knows it is very difficult, as his availability depends on how his injury progresses. Javier Aguirre will therefore have to improvise a left-back for the fixture.

The Valencia squad trained on the morning of the report at the Ciudad Deportiva before receiving three days off. They are due to return to work on Monday to begin preparing for the trip to Vallecas.
