Aguirre names the whole first team for Tavernes at Mestalla
Cup first round on Tuesday at 9pm at Mestalla; Valencia have not won any of their seven home league games this season.
Valencia face Tavernes on Tuesday at 9pm at Mestalla in their Copa del Rey opener, with the sixth-tier side playing as the home team at their opponent's ground. Javier Aguirre has called up every available first-team player, and according to MARCA, GayĂ will not start.
The squad contains almost no academy players because the reserves play Cieza on Wednesday. International call-ups for Dimitrievski, Dieng and Diakhaby leave the goalkeeping spot to Van Oevelen, who could make his debut between the posts.
Valencia have not won a home league game this season, with two draws and five defeats in seven matches. Tavernes, who won La Nostra Copa to earn their first ever Copa appearance, are eager to play. Their coach, Edu Palomares «Tomaca», says: «For us, playing this match is already a celebration».
