The forward ‘headline’ of Javi Gracia, in the air

Javi
Grace may have to invent a lead in the Valencia to visit Alavés this Sunday since at the moment it is not clear that he can count on even the South Korean Kang
In
read nor with the Uruguayan Maxi
Gomez.

Neither of them has completed the penultimate work session with the group this Friday to prepare for the return to the League, so, in the best of cases, they could arrive with a single training session with their teammates.

Both were the starting duo in the praised victory of the last day against Real Madrid and it was taken for granted that they would repeat at the top of the attack in the next match.

In fact, at first it was thought that the trauma that Maxi Gómez had in his right knee and that he recommended that he not attend the Uruguay call could end up being beneficial because it took away an important load of minutes and fatigue.

Throughout the week he has been waiting for the scorer to join the group but has limited himself to working together with a recuperator. Just like he did this Friday. The only positive sign was that he jumped onto the Paterna pitch with his teammates after a video session and warmed up with them.

Not even did that Kang In, who has been “isolated” for a couple of days and who is awaiting the result of the last PCR that has been done to him after returning from the concentration of his national team.

The fact that a handful of cases have already been confirmed in Kang In's teammates causes the prevention of the young hitch to multiply, who after a slump in the game seemed to have once again convinced the Navarrese coach.

Everything would be between Gameiro, Guedes and Manu Vallejo

In the event that neither of them could finally be in the match, three players seem to start with more options than the rest. They are veteran Kevin Gameiro, the converted winger Gonçalo Guedes and the mighty Manu Vallejo. In principle, others such as Rubén Sobrino, formerly of Alavés, or Álex Blanco would start with fewer options.
