Impact Duro was the savior for Valencia in Saturday's contest, scoring the lone goal of the match in the 61st minute off of a Jose Gaya assist. This was Duro's second straight match bagging a goal, now having nine on the season after scoring last week against Cadiz. He continues to lead the club in goals this season, now having nine, which is five more than any other player on the team. He will hope to keep up this flying form in their next game, as the club will need someone to step up with them facing Atletico Madrid on Sunday in a truly pivotal match for placing with the club's only separated by six points.

Sergi Canos - Comes off injured Saturday Canos was forced off in the 14th minute of play in Saturday's match against Athletic, having gone down with an apparent injury.

Impact Canos only lasted a couple of minutes in Saturday's contests before leaving the field, appearing to have picked up an undisclosed injury early on in the game. This is a tough break for the midfielder, as he had started in the last four matches up to this point after only gaining the start in two of the club's first 17 contests. He will hope to only be carrying a minor issue and to be back on the pitch next weekend against Atletico Madrid. More on the player's injury should be released in the coming days.

Gabriel Paulista - Goes full 90 in Copa del Rey Paulista (undisclosed) got the start in Wednesday's Copa del Rey clash with Celta, logging 90 minutes in which he registered two clearances, two clocks and one interception.

Impact Paulista was forced off versus Cadiz on Sunday after 81 minutes with an undisclosed injury but seems no worse for the wear.

Jaume Domenech - Defeat in cup Domenech started and conceded three times during Wednesday's 3-1 loss to Celta Vigo.

Impact Domenech's run as the Copa del Rey goalkeeper comes to a close with a loss to Celta Vigo in the round of 16. The goalkeeper isn't likely to displace Giorgi Mamardashvili anytime soon in the first team, meaning Domenech's time in the starting XI is likely done for the season, barring injuries elsewhere.

Roman Yaremchuk - Back from flu Yaremchuk is fully fit and ready to go for Wednesday's clash with Celta Vigo, AS reports.

Impact Yaremchuk was originally a doubt due to a flu but he has recovered enough for Wednesday's clash. The forward has been a consistent piece of the starting XI when fully fit and available and should be back in the first team for Wednesday's match.

The goal was his fourth across Valencia's 2023-24 season.

JANUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Jesus Vazquez - Finally scores goal Vazquez scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 4-1 win versus Cadiz.

Impact Vazquez's 2024 is already off to a strong start, as he scored a goal coming off Valencia's bench. Never having scored any goals across his 32 appearances between 2020 and 2023, he is not expected to continue scoring moving forward. But with his output Sunday, Vazquez breaks a cold streak in the goal category at the very least.

Impact Lopez began Valencia's scoring frenzy by logging the assist to a goal from Hugo Duro. The former scored one himself for Valencia's second and game-winning goal. In the final minutes of the Cadiz game, Lopez iced it for Valencia by logging an assist to Valencia's third goal, scored by Javi Guerra. Lopez's form is arguably at an all-time, as he has averaged an assist across his last four appearances.

Impact Ruben Alcaraz scored past Mamardashvili, who has conceded one goal in each of his first two appearances of 2024. Ideally for the goalkeeper, the third time is the charm for him to maintain a clean sheet. Up next, Valencia's team is expected to host Athletic on Jan. 20.

Mouctar Diakhaby - Summoned for AFCON Diakhaby was called up by Guinea for AFCON 2023, and will miss most of January.
