Lucas Beltrán

Beltran (knee) attempted to train but was unable to recover sufficiently and remains sidelined for the time being, according to coach Carlos Corberan. "Lucas continues on the side, he couldn't recover from his knee issue."

Analysis: Beltran had been hoping to return to the fold but his body has not responded well enough to allow him to participate in full team sessions, extending his absence without a clear return timeline. Largie Ramazani is expected to continue covering in the front line during his absence, with Valencia monitoring his condition closely ahead of the remaining fixtures of the season.

Ruled out Saturday

Beltran (knee) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Atletico, according to Conrado Valle of Diario AS.

Analysis: Beltran has been unable to recover from the discomfort that kept him out of Thursday's training session, with the serious doubt flagged earlier in the week proving accurate as Valencia made their final call ahead of the Atletico fixture. The forward is an important piece of coach Carlos Corberan's attack, and his absence is a real blow for a side heading into a difficult clash against the Colchoneros. Filip Ugrinic is expected to step into the playmaker role, with Beltran's availability for the coming fixtures to be monitored closely.
