Hugo Guillamon - Starting against Sevilla Guillamon (knee) is in Valencia's starting lineup for Tuesday's clash against Sevilla.

Impact Guillamon was an unused substitute in Saturday's draw with Elche as he was dealing with a knee injury, but he has recovered now and is fit enough to play from the start on Tuesday.

Edinson Cavani - Dealing with ankle worry Cavani is dealing with an ankle injury ahead of Tuesday's match at Sevilla, according to manager Gennaro Gattuso.

Impact Cavani hurt his ankle after scoring a penalty in the first half of Saturday's win over Elche and it forced him to leave during the break. While he's been able to improve his health each day, it's uncertain if Cavani will still start Tuesday. Hugo Duro and Marcos Andre are potential backups if Cavani can't play from kickoff.

Mouctar Diakhaby - Available for selection Diakhaby completed his one-match suspension during Saturday's 2-2 draw with Elche.

Impact Diakhaby was dismissed from the bench during the Oct. 7 win over Osasuna and may have been fortunate not to be suspended for any longer. He had started in eight straight games before the ban and if the manager isn't too upset over his actions, Diakhaby could start over either Eray Comert or Gabriel Paulista.

Hugo Guillamon - On right track Guillamon (knee) trained in Sunday and Monday's sessions ahead of Tuesday's trip to Sevilla, according to manager Gennaro Gattuso.

Impact Guillamon was left on the bench for Saturday's match against Elche and still needs clearance before he might receive any minutes in Tuesday's match. While he's out of the lineup, Yunus Musah, Andre Almeida and Nico look to be a solid midfield trio following their efforts over the weekend.

Samu Castillejo - Still in doubt Castillejo (strain) remained absent from Monday's training session ahead of Tuesday's trip to Sevilla, according to David Torres of El Desmarque.

Impact Castillejo doesn't have much of a chance of playing Tuesday and for any games until he's back in training. While he's out, Justin Kluivert should continue to start on the right flank after scoring once in two starts.

Marcos De Sousa - Completes suspension Andre completed his suspension during Saturday's 2-2 draw with Elche and will be available in Tuesday's trip to Sevilla.

Impact Andre was suspended for two matches due to his actions during the 2-2 draw with Espanyol on Oct. 2. Now that he's available, Andre has some prospects of making his third start of the season if Edinson Cavani (ankle) isn't cleared from kickoff.

Giorgi Mamardashvili - Concedes two in draw Mamardashvili conceded two goals and made four saves during Saturday's 2-2 draw with Elche.

Impact Mamardashvili was beaten once from the penalty spot and once from open play by Pere Milla, who kept his team in contention during a tough road trip. Though he's conceded five goals in his last three matches, Mamardashvili is undefeated in his last four starts. So long as the team continues to score at a regular clip, Mamardashvili has shown strong enough form to record good results with consistency.

Thierry Correia - Provides five crosses in draw Correia provided five crosses (one accurate) and won two-of-two tackles during Saturday's 2-2 draw with Elche.

Impact Correia also conceded four fouls but went a fourth straight game without conceding a booking. In those four matches, Correia has done fairly well defensively, logging four tackles and winning 11 of them while logging 11 fouls. Should he put up similar crossing numbers to Saturday's game on a regular basis, Correia's value would be more notable.

Jose Luis Gaya - Active in draw Gaya created one chance from nine crosses (one accurate) and took two shots (one on goal) during Saturday's 2-2 draw with Elche.

Impact Gaya seems like he's trying to stuff an entire season of production into a month as he's already logged 48 crosses in five games since returning from suspension, a tally that's over half of what he did in all of last season. While a few more assists would be nice, a role in taking set pieces and a key position in leading the attack without Carlos Soler should give him plenty of time to increase his tally further.

Edinson Cavani - Scores twice in first half Cavani scored two goals from three shots on target (one penalty) during Saturday's 2-2 draw with Elche.

Impact Cavani needed four games to score some goals for Valencia after logging an assist in the last match against Osasuna. If Cavani can find consistent form in front of goal, it'll be increasingly difficult to slow down a team that's among the league's top scorers even without reliable production from a striker.

Hugo Guillamon - Needs more time Guillamon will be a game-time decision for Saturday's match against Elche due to a knock taken to his knee, according to manager Gennaro Gattuso.

Impact Guillamon was able to train Friday but it remains to be seen if he's had enough time to declare himself available. Were he to miss out, Yunus Musah, Ilaix Moriba and Andre Almeida should fill out the midfield in some combination.

Samu Castillejo - Dealing with injury Castillejo is dealing with a strain and will hope to return to training next week, manager Gennaro Gattuso told reporters ahead of Saturday's match against Elche.

Impact Castillejo has bad timing with his injury as he'll miss a second consecutive game and could be out for a third due to Tuesday's trip to Sevilla crunching in a midweek contest. Justin Kluivert will hope to make a second straight start on Saturday after creating three chances in the 2-1 win over Osasuna during the last match.

Dimitri Foulquier - Comes off bench in win Foulquier logged 16 minutes off the bench during Friday's 2-1 win over Osasuna.

Impact Foulquier was able to get on the pitch after spending three straight matches on the bench without logging a minute. While one might have expected Foulquier to play more frequently, it's Thierry Correia who has taken over as the starter at right-back this season.

Yunus Musah - Concedes yellow card in return Musah conceded a yellow card in 28 minutes off the bench during Friday's 2-1 win over Osasuna.

Impact Musah is back after missing a couple of games due to a muscular injury and managed to conceded his second yellow card in a row. After starting the opening five matches of the season, one would expect Musah to return to the lineup over Ilaix Moriba once able to play from kickoff.

OCTOBER 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ilaix Moriba - Creates one chance in win Moriba created one chance, made two interceptions and conceded a yellow card during Friday's 2-1 win over Osasuna.

Impact Moriba continued in his third straight start despite Yunus Musah returning from injury. For Moriba, he's conceded five fouls and created just three chances so his fantasy value isn't much to take note of.
