Paulista remains on the sidelines of the group but is not ruled out for Madrid

Valencia central Gabriel Paulista remained on the sidelines of the group this Monday in training in the sports city of Paterna, in which the side José Luis Gayà was also not with his teammates, although neither is ruled out for the clash against Real Madrid.

Paulista was out of the team dynamic last week due to an overloaded elongation in the right front rectum and was unable to play in Friday's derby against Levante.

The idea of ​​the coaching staff is that they can join the group in the two remaining working days to test themselves before Thursday's meeting.

In the case of Gayà, his absence was for a matter of regulating the efforts of the players in this final stretch of the competition, in which they will have to play many games every three days.

In fact, many of the starting players in that first meeting after the break due to the coronavirus have withdrawn from the field of play before the first hour of work was completed.

Both center-back Ezequiel Garay and Italian right-back Cristiano Piccini follow the team's margin, immersed in the recovery from their injuries.
