Jesús Vázquez out 2 to 4 weeks with adductor injury
Medical tests confirm a right adductor muscle injury, and the left-back is unlikely to be fit for the Rayo Vallecano match on Saturday 21 November.
The Valencia left-back Jesús Vázquez has a muscle injury in his right adductor, picked up in the closing minutes of the match against Real Madrid, where he came on in the 82nd minute for Javi Guerra after Gayà was sent off. According to MARCA he will be out for three to four weeks; Mundo Deportivo says two to four weeks.
The club has not set a recovery date. The injury rules him out of the Copa del Rey squad for the tie against Tavernes and makes it hard for him to be ready for the visit to Rayo Vallecano on Saturday 21 November at 16:15. Javier Aguirre also loses one of his two left-backs, since Gayà must serve whatever suspension the competition committee decides.
Vázquez had already lost ground since the arrival of Aguirre, who had been backing Gayà in the starting eleven, and this absence reduces the coach's options for rotating in that position.
