Impact Cavani hurt his ankle after scoring a penalty in the first half of Saturday's win over Elche and it forced him to leave during the break.

Impact Cavani needed four games to score some goals for Valencia after logging an assist in the last match against Osasuna. If Cavani can find consistent form in front of goal, it'll be increasingly difficult to slow down a team that's among the league's top scorers even without reliable production from a striker.
