One of the biggest names is Guido Rodríguez. Corberán explained that the midfielder is doing everything possible to return, but he still does not have medical clearance. "Guido has tried to be available, but the time that has passed means he cannot get medical clearance". The coach was also firm in saying he will not take any risks: "Guido is willing to play without medical clearance, but Valencia's coach is not going to make him play without medical clearance". Therefore, Guido must continue to be considered unavailable until he completes his recovery.

Luis Rioja is also not available

Luis Rioja continues to suffer from discomfort and is also unable to compete. Corberán highlighted the player's efforts to try to make the match: "Luis Rioja has tried to cut away everything he can on the boot to play without pain". However, the discomfort continues to prevent him from being available.

De Haas will travel after just one training session

The situation of De Haas is different. The defender has only completed one training session with the team, but Corberán confirmed that he will travel with the squad to Sevilla. "De Haas has only trained for one day and is going to Sevilla". In fantasy terms, his inclusion in the squad is positive, although his lack of match rhythm means there is plenty of uncertainty about how many minutes he might play.

Harvey Elliott is moving closer to his best level

Corberán also spoke about Harvey Elliott, whose summer preparation has been unusual. "His pre-season has been atypical". Despite that, the coach is delighted with his quality: "He looks like a difference-maker, and he is getting closer and closer to his physical level". It is a very positive statement ahead of the coming matchdays. Elliott still needs to finish building up his rhythm, but he is set to take on more and more of a leading role.

Danjuma and Hugo Duro, available attacking options

After being asked about the possibility of going into the free-agent market following Sadiq's injury, Corberán made it clear that he trusts the alternatives he already has. "We have Danjuma, Hugo Duro, and Aimar is coming with us". Therefore, Danjuma and Hugo Duro will continue to carry a lot of weight in the Valencia attack as long as Sadiq remains out.

The academy will also get opportunities

Corberán also mentioned several young options that are starting to enter his plans: Jaume Durá, Panach, Iker Córdoba and Otorbi. The case of Otorbi was especially striking, as he said he even has options to return to the starting XI. This opens the door for several academy players to earn minutes while the team remains affected by injuries.
