The absence of De Haas from Tuesday's collective work is not related to an injury. The centre-back is dealing with a febrile illness and has trained away from his team-mates, although at first this situation should not prevent him from being available for the clash with Racing de Santander.

His progress over the next sessions will determine when he can rejoin the group. The coaching staff still have some margin before the match on matchday 8 to check his condition.

Guido Rodríguez also remains outside the team's set-up, although for a different reason. The midfielder is in Argentina with permission from Valencia to take part with his national team in the tribute to Leo Messi, and he is expected to return from Thursday.

Tárrega and Diakhaby available; Copete continues to progress

The best news from the session came from the heart of the defence. César Tárrega and Mouctar Diakhaby have once again completed training with the rest of their team-mates after putting their respective physical issues behind them.

Both have already built up several sessions within the collective routine, with Diakhaby working with the group since last week. The pair are available for matchday 8, although that does not mean they have a guaranteed starting spot.

Copete's recovery is at a different stage. The centre-back continues to recover from his serious meniscus injury and on Tuesday he was able to do part of the training with his team-mates before completing the rest of the work away from the group.

His return is still gradual and his presence this weekend remains in doubt. In the meantime, Sadiq, Foulquier, Rioja, Danjuma, Diego López and Sergi Canós remain injured.
