Sergi Canos - In question for Mallorca match Canos appears to have picked up an injury and is now questionable for Saturday's match against Mallorca, as manager Ruben Baraja stated, "The sensations are good, but we need to co...

Impact Canos is likely facing a late fitness test ahead of Saturday's contest, having gone down with an undisclosed issue. It is unclear what exactly the problem is, but it appears not to be all that serious as he is still in contention to get in the team sheet. We will now have to wait to see if the left-midfielder is fit for the contest, most likely starting if deemed healthy, as he has started in the club's past three genes. However, if he doesn't play, expect him to only miss one match and return next week against Granada on Thursday.

Pepelu - Three crosses at Villarreal Pepelu had one shot (zero on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 1-0 loss against Villarreal.

Impact Pepelu had a good all-around outing and sent in the second-most crosses for Valencia during the loss. The midfielder also took both their corner kicks in the match. He started in all the 29 games in the campaign so far, playing the full 90 minutes in 26 of them.

Javier Guerra Moreno - Makes two interceptions in loss Javi Guerra generated two shots (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 1-0 loss against Villarreal.

Impact Guerra had a decent all-around outing and led Valencia in interceptions (two), but couldn't help them avoid the road loss. The midfielder logged his third start in a row and sixth in the last seven games.

Thierry Correia - Sends in five crosses as sub Correia generated five crosses (two accurate) and three chances created in Sunday's 1-0 defeat against Villarreal.

Impact Correia subbed on in the first half for the injured Jose Gaya and led Valencia in crosses and chances created during the match. He was a regular starter until the turn of the year, but since then has only four appearances off bench. He will likely start if Gaya is not cleared to play after the international break.

Giorgi Mamardashvili - Saves PK in loss Mamardashvili made six saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-0 loss against Villarreal.

Impact Mamardashvili saved a PK in the first half, but it wasn't enough to avoid the road loss as he conceded once in the second. The goalkeeper made his third-most saves in the campaign. He will now look to bounce back against Mallorca on Mar 30.

MARCH 19 • ROTOWIRE

Hugo Guillamon - Set to return from ban Guillamon completed his one-game suspension and will be available to face Mallorca on March 30 after the international break.

Impact Guillamon didn't start in Valencia's previous two contests following his suspension, and there's no certainty he'd be welcomed back into the starting lineup right away. His versatility is a plus, as he can play both as a center-back and defensive midfielder, but it wouldn't be shocking if he starts the match against Mallorca as a bench alternative.

MARCH 18 • ROTOWIRE

Jose Gaya - Picks up another injury Gaya has been diagnosed with a quadriceps injury on his left leg, the club announced Monday.

Impact Gaya picked up the injury in Sunday's loss to Villarreal, and the diagnosis was clear following the tests carried out this Monday. Muscular injuries tend to be tricky, and while Gaya will have two weeks to recover, his status to face Mallorca on March 30 after the international break should be questionable at best.

Cristhian Mosquera - Eight clearances in victory Cristhian Mosquera registered eight clearances and one interception in Saturday's 1-0 victory over Getafe.

Impact Mosquera was integral to Valencia denying the Getafe attack during his team's 1-0 victory Saturday. Mosquera continued to set the tone for the Valencia's defensive effort, making eight clearances, a block and an interception in the clean sheet effort. Mosquera's recent extension with Valencia is indicative of his increased role. Mosquera has emerged as one of the first names on the team sheet, having appeared 25 times (22 starts) this campaign after appearing just three times (one start) over Valencia's previous campaign.

Hugo Guillamon - Picks up fifth yellow card Hugo Guillamon (suspension) recorded no stats in Saturday's 1-0 win over Getafe. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 90th minute.

Impact Guillamon picked-up his fifth yellow card of the campaign, earning him a one match ban, in just 19 minutes on the pitch during Valencia's 1-0 victory over Getafe on Saturday. After a streak of nine consecutive starts, Guillamon has now appeared as a substitute in Valencia's most recent two matches. Guillamon's yellow card suspension will not aid his bid to regain the minutes lost this campaign due to injury. Overall, Guillamon has scored once over 20 appearances (nine starts), compared to the previous campaign's performance in which he scored once and provided four assists over 25 appearances (19 starts).

MARCH 10 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Duro scored the decisive goal in Valencia's 1-0 win over Getafe on Saturday. The goal was Duro's 12th of the campaign and third over his last five appearances (five starts). His 12 goals are tied for the sixth most in Spain's top flight this campaign. For good measure, Duro added one tackle (one won) and an interception to yet another positive performance over a campaign in which he has appeared in each of Valencia's 27 matches (26 starts).

MARCH 10 • ROTOWIRE

Giorgi Mamardashvili - Strong in clean sheet effort Mamardashvili registered five saves and secured a clean sheet in Saturday's 1-0 victory over Getafe.

It was his first time on the bench since he suffered the back injury on Oct. 1 and he wasn't fully fit for the match. According to Baraja, Almeida is making major strides in recovering his fitness in training and could be back in contention for some minutes Saturday.

Mouctar Diakhaby - Will receive surgery on knee Diakhaby is set to get surgery after dislocating his knee, the club announced Tuesday.

Impact Diakhaby looked to be in very bad shape after his leg was crunched in Saturday's match against Real Madrid, appearing to have suffered a catastrophic injury that would end his season. However, he will avoid a serious injury and may even be back on the field this season, as he was diagnosed with a dislocated knee and is expected to miss anywhere from one to two months with the issue. This is very positive news for the defender after suffering what looked to possibly be a career-ending injury despite still being out for a prolonged absence. He will now look for a return sometime in April. If that is too early, he will look ahead to May, just hoping to get back on the field this campaign after an injury-filled season. He has been a regular starter when available this campaign, so his absence will cause a change in the starting XI, with Cenk Ozkacar being his most likely replacement.
