Elche

Fer Niño was doubtful for Elche's meeting with Valencia after missing training with back pain, but he returned to the group on Thursday and is expected to start up front ahead of Abiel Osorio. No Elche player has been ruled out, although several fitness decisions will be made closer to kick-off.

Marc Aguado remains doubtful due to an ankle injury and is not expected to start. Buba Sangaré is favoured over Rubén Sánchez at right-back, while Federico Redondo is expected to continue in central defence. Osorio remains the alternative to Niño after appearing as a substitute against Rayo Vallecano.

Valencia

David Otorbi’s breakthrough is already on hold. Days after his first start in the last five matches, against Villarreal, Valencia confirmed that he had suffered a muscle injury in his right thigh and had begun treatment. He is not expected to start at Elche.

José Gayà has a broken nose but is expected to continue at left-back, where he has started each of Valencia’s last five matches. Harvey Elliott serves a one-match suspension following his red card against Villarreal, while Luis Rioja is set to continue after also making his first start in the recent run during that match. Diego López and Sergi Canós remain unavailable.
