Spanish media: Valencia suffer two more injuries and miss Barcelona clash, Foulquier out for weeks

According to Superdeporte, Valencia have two more players ruled out of the match against Barcelona due to injuries, with Foulquier expected to miss several weeks.

Right-sided regular Luis Rioja was unable to train normally throughout the week and will miss the fourth-round match. Foulquier was also originally unavailable, but he gradually joined group training during his recovery and travelled with the team to A Coruña before suffering another injury on Saturday. According to Tribuna Deportiva, Foulquier will be out for several weeks.

With Rioja and Foulquier added to the list, Valencia currently have seven players sidelined due to injuries. The other five are Guido Rodríguez, José Copete, Justin de Haas, Umar Sadiq and Diego López. Sergi Canós is completely outside the coach's plans and is also currently recovering from a long-term injury.

In this situation, Corberán has called up all available first-team players, including young players David Otorbi and Iker Córdoba. In addition, four Valencia Mestalla academy players have joined the training camp, and they were all regular participants during pre-season.

Dutch goalkeeper Van Oevelen has recovered from ankle discomfort and took part in group training in the last two sessions, allowing him to be selected. New signing Harvey Elliott, who is on loan from Liverpool, completed training on Saturday. Corberán said Elliott is “very adaptable to different systems.”
