Arnaut Danjuma - Could recover for Villarreal game Danjuma (groin) is believed to have a chance of being available next Sunday at Villarreal, with manager Carlos Corberan revealing that "The decision not to play Thierry or Danjuma...

Impact Danjuma was expected to miss two weeks, but an earlier return appears to be a possible scenario. In any case, the attacker is still questionable at the moment. Prior to his absence in the last clash against Levante, the winger recorded three goals and two assists across 22 La Liga games, although only one of those contributions came in the last 14 contests.

Thierry Correia - Hopeful to return for next game Correia (hamstring) missed Sunday's derby against Levante as a precaution and is expected to bounce back for the upcoming visit to Villarreal, coach Carlos Corberan mentioned in pr...

Impact Correia will eventually have a chance to compete for the right-back position, which has recently been filled by the versatile Unai Nunez. The Portuguese has logged only 18 minutes of play since Jan. 10. However, he was a regular starter before that, contributing an assist and some defensive stats over 12 straight league appearances.

Eray Comert - Suffers ankle injury Sunday Comert ended with a blow to his ankle that forced him to leave in the final minutes of Sunday's 2-0 win over Levante, Joaquin Anduro of El Desmarque reports.

Impact Comert has been unfortunate with physical issues throughout the season and could now be sidelined again after making four consecutive starts. While the extent of the new injury is yet to be determined, the center-back's potential absence would open up a spot for Copete to return to the lineup after serving a ban, with the deployment of Unai Nunez in the middle also a possibility.

Diego Lopez - Out for derby Lopez is out for Sunday's match against Levante due to an injury in training, according to Andres Garcia of Super Deporte.

Impact Lopez is not with the team and is a late absentee just ahead of match time, missing out due to a training issue he suffered. This adds to the club's struggles with injuries, now without eight players. He will hope for a quick turnaround, facing Villarreal next contest on Feb. 22.

Thierry Correia - Ruled out for derby Correia (hamstring) is ruled out for Sunday's derby against Levante, coach Carlos Corberan said in the press conference. "With Titi, it's precaution, he has an edema that could agg...

Impact Correia will not be available for Sunday's derby against Levante after suffering a setback in his recovery from a hamstring injury. The right-back logged fewer than 20 minutes in his return last week and is now dealing with edema that the club does not want to aggravate. It is a setback for Valencia, though the concern remains minor, as both natural right-backs are sidelined, which should open the door for Unai Nunez to take on a larger role immediately with his new club.

Arnaut Danjuma - Set to miss two weeks Danjuma suffered a psoas muscle strain and will likely miss two weeks to recover from the issue, according to Javi Teruel from AS.

Impact Danjuma is set to miss both derby clashes against Levante and Villarreal this month after going down with a psoas strain that will sideline him for roughly two weeks. It's a tough break for Valencia, as he's been a locked-in starter up front and a key piece of their attacking engine. His absence forces a shake-up in the starting XI, opening the door for Diego Lopez to step back into the starting lineup and shoulder the load in the final third.

Thierry Correia - Suffers apparent setback Correia is set to undergo medical tests after sustaining a potential hamstring injury during Wednesday's training session and is doubtful for Sunday's derby against Levante, accord...

Impact Correia, who had just returned from injury last weekend against Real Madrid, appears to have suffered another setback in training Wednesday and is now uncertain for Sunday's clash against Levante. The defender will undergo further tests to determine the severity of the injury. Luis Rioja is likely to start at right wing-back if Correia is unavailable, especially with Dimitri Foulquier also sidelined.

Arnaut Danjuma - Still not training Thursday Danjuma (undisclosed) has yet to return to team training after missing sessions in recent days, leaving him doubtful for Sunday's derby against Levante, according to Plaza Deportiv...

Impact Danjuma missed training over the past few days for undisclosed reasons and is now a doubt for Sunday's derby against Levante. The Dutch winger is expected to be evaluated closer to kickoff and will likely be a game-time call. If he's ruled out, Diego Lopez is in line to step into the frontline and absorb those minutes.

Dimitri Foulquier - Undergoes successful surgery Foulquier underwent a successful knee surgery Thursday and will now begin his recovery, the club announced.

Impact Foulquier underwent arthroscopic knee surgery Thursday and is set to begin a recovery process that could sideline him for the rest of the season. The right-back is targeting a late-season return at best, making this a significant blow to the depth chart. His absence leaves Thierry Correia as the lone natural option to step in at right-back, especially after just working his way back from injury.

Dimitri Foulquier - Set for knee surgery Foulquier is set to undergo surgery on his knee and could miss the rest of the season, according to his club.

Impact Foulquier is in need of surgery and will receive the treatment in the coming days, an arthroscopic surgery on his knee. This is going to keep the defender out from anywhere from two to six months, depending on the operation, as a minor surgery could keep him out around two months while a more major operation is anywhere from four to six months recovering. This will leave Thierry Correia to start at right-back moving forward, as Folquier waits on the extent of his recovery.

Dimitri Foulquier - Misses due to discomfort Foulquier (undisclosed) missed Sunday's 2-0 defeat against Real Madrid due to muscular discomfort, according to Marca.

Impact Foulquier was labeled the only available right-back for Sunday's showdown against Real Madrid by coach Carlos Corberan despite dealing with muscular discomfort. The defender ultimately sat out the match, while Thierry Correia returned from injury during that contest. Foulquier will be evaluated over the coming days to determine the extent of the issue, though there is no urgency to push him back now that the Portuguese defender is available again.

Thierry Correia - Features off bench Correia (hamstring) featured 18 minutes off bench in Sunday's 2-0 defeat against Real Madrid, confirming he is back fit for Valencia.

Impact Correia returned from a three-game absence with a hamstring injury and logged 18 minutes off the bench in Sunday's loss to the Merengues, confirming he is fully fit again for Valencia. This is a significant boost for the club with Dimitri Foulquier (undisclosed) currently battling muscular issues, especially given Correia's status as an undisputed starter on the right side of the backline prior to going down injured.

Cristian Rivero - Suspension cleared Rivero is no longer suspended and is an option moving forward for the club.

Impact Rivero has served his suspension due to the red card he received against Getafe and is set to return in the next contest. The goalkeeper has been the third choice keeper in the rotation, therefore his return will have no impact on the starting XI.
