Raul Albion has joined the list of absentees set to miss his Valencia side's Copa del Rey second leg clash with Real Betis.Los Che bring a 2-1 lead home with them from Sevilla, but go into this game off the back of a 1-0 loss at Atletico Madrid on Sunday evening in La Liga.
The Copa is the last real chance that Valencia have to secure some silverware this season, and with the pressure mounting on coach Ronald Koeman, an aggregate win is vital.
Fernando Morientes returned to full training today but will be unable to help end his team's striking rut as he regains fitness, while Alexis and Miguel will miss out in defence. Javier Arizmendi misses out due to suspension.
Needless to say, David Albelda, Santiago Canizares and Miguel Angel Angulo remain absent.
Coach Koeman has released a list of 18, which will be cut to 16 in time for the match:
Goalkeepers: Hildebrand, Mora
Defenders: Caneira, Helguera, Lomban, Marchena, Moretti
Midfielders: Edu, Montoro, Joaquin, Vicente, Mata, Baraja, Banega
Forwards: Zigic, Silva, Villa.
