With the schedule on their side, everything indicates that the fullback will be available on Sunday the 5th at Mestalla against Celta. In the match against Sevilla, Gayà tried to continue on the pitch twice but ended up giving way because, as he explained, he couldn’t see clearly, and Jesús Vázquez had to come in his place.

Alarms went off because of how the hours after the collision unfolded. After rushing to a hospital in Seville, the initial examinations detected no issues, he was discharged, and returned with the squad the same Saturday. Back home, and two days later, the footballer underwent a new check to rule out any problem, no matter how small, and the result confirmed that “he has nothing”.

Inside, the news was also felt as a relief at the club and around the player. Within Valencia, they understand that, with no match this coming weekend, there is no reason to think the captain will not arrive for the clash against Celta at Mestalla.

Protocol for head impacts and the Ugrinic case

The episode again highlights the protocol for head impacts: the referee must stop the game immediately, the doctor evaluates the situation, and if there is still suspicion of any concussion, the player cannot continue and must be substituted. Afterwards, medical tests take place and a return is usually set between seven and ten days.

The one who is indeed left out of the international call-up is Ugrinic. The midfielder, with discomfort in the patellar tendon of the knee, did not travel to Seville last weekend and was called up for Switzerland, but will finally not attend following the medical report from Valencia itself. It didn’t even become necessary for him to travel to Bern.
