Andre Almeida - Credited with assist in loss Almeida assisted once to go with five crosses (two accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 2-1 defeat versus Atletico Madrid.

Impact Almeida was credited with an assist on Valencia's lone goal, though, to be fair, the entire credit for the goal belongs to Lucas Beltran, who unleashed an unstoppable shot past Jan Oblak. This was Almeida's first assist of the season, and the Portuguese playmaker should remain in the XI since he's been part of the lineup in each of his last four starts.

Julen Agirrezabala - Concedes two goals Saturday Agirrezabala registered four saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-1 loss versus Atletico Madrid.

Impact Agirrezabala was beaten twice, though there was not much he could've done on either sequence. He'll aim to close out the calendar year on a high note in what should be a favorable matchup at home against Mallorca.

Impact Tarrega has served his suspension due to yellow cards accumulation in La Liga and is set to return in the next contest. The defender has been an undisputed starter for Valencia and will therefore claim back his role against Mallorca on Friday.

Impact Gaya has made progress in his recovery from flu-like symptoms and returns to the bench for Saturday's match against the Colchoneros, though he remains short of full fitness.

Jose Gaya - Dealing with illness Gaya is dealing with an illness and is a heavy doubt to play Saturday against Atletico Madrid, manager Carlos Corberan told media during Friday's press conference.

Impact Among the three players in Valencia's squad dealing with flu-like symptoms, Gaya is a heavy doubt for Saturday's game, as is Luis Rioja, but Javi Guerra has recovered and should be able to play. The loss of Gaya could be significant for Valencia, as they're already without defenders Mouctar Diakhaby (hamstring) and Cesar Tarrega (suspension). Jesus Vazquez would be the next in line to replace Gaya if the latter can't play Saturday.

Luis Rioja - Battling illness Rioja is dealing with an illness and is a heavy doubt to play Saturday against Atletico Madrid, manager Carlos Corberan told media during Friday's press conference.

Impact Rioja is the third Valencia player to fall ill this week, with Jose Gaya and Javi Guerra also affected by the bug. If Rioja is unable to play, look for Lucas Beltran or Dani Raba to fill the void in the final third. Rioja has one goal and three assists across 15 appearances (12 starts) this season.

Next Real Madrid manager: Jurgen Klopp, Zinedine Zidane and the seven candidates to replace doomed Xabi Alonso after Man City humbling

Javier Guerra Moreno - Doubtful due to illness Guerra is doubtful to play against Atletico Madrid on Saturday due to an illness, Fernando Alvarez of MARCA reports.

Impact Guerra hasn't trained in the last two days, and it's unclear whether he'll be fit enough to face Atletico Madrid. He's a regular starter in midfield, and if he doesn't play, Filip Ugrinic could step into a starting role.

Hugo Duro - Scores equalizer against Sevilla Duro scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Sevilla.

Impact Duro fired a left-footed strike into the back of the net for his team to avoid defeat in the final minutes of the game. The striker is getting back on track after a short drought, with two goals in his last three matches played allowing him to establishing himself as the top scorer on the team. Therefore, he should be expected to feature over Lucas Beltran and Dani Raba in future fixtures.

Luis Rioja - Unimpressive performance in draw Rioja registered six crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Sevilla.

Impact Rioja finished without a shot on goal or accurate cross for the third consecutive game as he continued to struggle on the right wing Sunday. The attacker remains with one goal and three assists, ranking fourth and first on the squad, respectively, after 15 La Liga 2025/26 games. His offensive upside is somewhat diminished by his recent lack of set pieces, but he could still be a decisive contributor if he corrects his aim going forward.

DECEMBER 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Filip Ugrinic - Assists off bench in draw Ugrinic assisted once to go with three crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Sevilla.

Impact Ugrinic set up Hugo Duro with a low ball from the left flank in stoppage time against Sevilla. The Swiss played 27 minutes as a substitute for Andre Almeida, and the assist was his second in six appearances (zero starts) this season. While his playing time has been limited so far, Ugrinic may be reliable for playmaking stats if he gets involved more consistently, especially because he has taken set pieces on occasion.

DECEMBER 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Cesar Tarrega - Scores own goal, earns suspension Tarrega had an own goal and received his fifth yellow card of the season in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Sevilla.

Impact Tarrega pushed the ball into his own net in the 58th minute of a subpar performance. He was also booked for the fifth time this season, which makes him ineligible for next weekend's meeting with Atletico Madrid. This ban puts an end to the center-back's run of all minutes played in the last 19 La Liga matchups. Eray Comert and a potentially fit-again Mouctar Diakhaby (hamstring) are candidates to fill in until Tarrega becomes available again for a Dec. 19 clash against Mallorca.

DECEMBER 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Julen Agirrezabala - Beaten once against Sevilla Agirrezabala made one save and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Sevilla.

Impact Agirrezabala wasn't heavily tested, but a defensive lapse by his teammate Cesar Tarrega prevented him from securing a clean sheet during the draw. The keeper has conceded less than two goals in four consecutive games, but he made multiple saves in only one of those contests. He might find more chances to show his skills in the upcoming visit to Atletico Madrid, who have scored the fourth-most goals in the league.
