- Injury: Valencia loses Garay due to broken knee cruciate ligament
Valencia seeks a central defense against the clock that can replace Ezequiel Garay , who will be at least six months off after confirming that he is suffering from a ruptured cruciate ligament in his right knee.
The Regulations of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), in particular, to article 124.3 establish the possibility of incorporating players outside the statutory periods "when a footballer causes sick leave or sickness that leads to a period of inactivity for more than five months, as long as the registration of the substitute footballer does not require the issuance of the International Transfer Certificate ". That is, the first condition is that the player is currently playing in the Spanish League (First or Second Division) or is unemployed .
The second condition in the case of Valencia is that it does not occupy an extra-community place . Until Gabriel Paulista obtains the Spanish passport (it is expected to be in the coming months), the three places are occupied by the Brazilian central, Kangin Lee and Maxi Gómez .
The third condition that makes the search even more complicated is UEFA. While Valencia has 30 days to register the player in the League, the Champions League ends this midnight . Incorporating a player who can play this competition seems vital, since Gabriel Paulista will not be able to play the knockout round against Atalanta by penalty, which leads Celades to play it with Diakhaby and Mangala , who has barely had minutes this season.
