The greater peace of mind for Beñat San José comes with Óscar Valentín. The midfielder set off the alarms during the second half of the match played in Vallecas, when a heavy impact to his right knee forced him to come off in the 64th minute. The first sensations sparked concern, to the point where a possible tear of the anterior cruciate ligament was even considered.

Finally, medical tests have confirmed that Óscar Valentín only has a contusion. That rules out the most worrying scenario, which would have meant a prolonged absence for one of Rayo's key midfield players.

The situation is quite different with Álvaro García. According to MARCA, the Sevilla forward will remain out of competition for approximately a month due to a muscle injury sustained against Celta de Vigo.

The winger began to feel discomfort in the back of his leg during the match and could not continue after the break. Subsequent tests have made it possible to determine the scope of the problem, which will leave the coach of the Rayo Vallecano without one of his main attacking pieces for several matches.

In this way, the two physical incidents from the match against Celta have very different consequences: Álvaro García faces an estimated recovery time of four weeks, while Óscar Valentín avoids a long-term injury after the initial scare.
