Santamaría and Raba omitted as Valencia prepare for Athletic, Guido Rodríguez could debut

Baptiste Santamaria and Dani Raba have been omitted by technical decision as Valencia prepare to host Athletic Club at Mestalla tonight. According to as.com, the squad went into camp and supporters have organised a large pre-match welcome.

Carlos Corberán has framed the tie as a final, and the home side are pushing to reach the Copa del Rey semi-finals.

The standout inclusion is Guido Rodríguez, who could make his Valencia debut this evening.

Copete is also named after coming off early at La Cartuja due to fatigue, while Foulquier failed to finish yesterday afternoon’s session as a precaution, given he is the only right-back available.

Raba did not travel to Seville and was singled out by fans after the defeat to Betis. The list is completed by B-team trio Raúl Jiménez, Vicente Abril and Rubo Iranzo.
