Impact Gaya sustained a painful facial injury during Saturday's encounter against Villarreal after being struck by Pape Gueye's elbow around the 80th minute, resulting in significant bleeding and a straight red card for the opposing midfielder following a VAR review. Despite the incident, the Valencia captain managed to complete the match, although further examinations are necessary to determine whether he suffered a nasal fracture. The medical staff will also assess whether he requires a protective mask, something the experienced left-back has previously worn following facial injuries. Valencia are planning to rest Gaya for Wednesday's Copa del Rey clash against Tavernes as a precautionary measure, with the primary objective of having him available for Sunday's La Liga encounter against Elche. His participation in that fixture will depend on the results of Monday's examinations, although the fact that he completed Saturday's match offers some encouragement regarding the severity of the injury.
