Araújo gives Xavi a break

Ronald Araújo arrives on time for Mestalla after being injured against Espanyol and missing the game against Napoli. This is great news for Xavi, who for the match against Valencia could not count on Piqué, suspended, nor on Umtiti or Lenglet, injured.

The squad list for the match against Bordalás’ team also brings the novelty of Abde, who returns to the dynamics of the first team.

Those summoned by Xavi are: Ter Stegen, Dest, Araújo, Busquets, Riqui Puig, Dembélé, Adama, Braithwaite, Neto, Nico, Pedri, Luuk de Jong, Alba, Ferran, Frenkie de Jong, Mingueza, Eric, Aubameyang, Gavi, Abde and Arnau.
