  Valencia loses Garay due to broken knee cruciate ligament
  

Valencia seeks a time trial a central defense that can replace Ezequiel Garay, who must be at least six months off after confirming that he is suffering from a ruptured cruciate ligament in his right knee.

The Regulations of the Spanish Royal Federation of Soccer (RFEF), specifically article 124.3 establishes the possibility of being able to incorporate players outside the statutory periods “when a footballer causes sick leave or injury that carries a period of inactivity for more than five months, as long as the registration of the substitute footballer does not require Issuance of International Transfer Certificate “. That is, the first condition is that the player is currently playing in the Spanish League (First or Second Division) or found in unemployment.

The second condition in the case of Valencia is that do not occupy an extra-community place. Until Gabriel Paulista Obtain the Spanish passport (expected to be in the coming months), the three places are occupied by the Brazilian central, Kangin Lee Y Maxi Gmez.

The third condition that further complicates the search is put by UEFA. While Valencia has 30 days to register the player in the League, in Champions the deadline ends this midnight. Incorporating a player who can contest this competition seems vital, since Gabriel Paulista will not be able to play the knockout round against Sanchez Atalanta, which leads Celades to play it with Diakhaby Y Mangala, which has barely had minutes this season.
