Alavés possible line-up to face Valencia in LaLiga EA Sports | OneFootball

Quique Sánchez Flores is weighing rotation as Alavés host Valencia at Mendizorroza today, between Saturday’s loss in Santander and a weekend trip to San Mamés.

According to AS, Antonio Sivera will start in goal. Ángel Pérez, Tenaglia, Koski, Otto and Abde will make up the defence, with Blanco, Ibáñez and Aleñá in midfield. Up front, Lucas Boyé will be joined by either Mariano or Toni Martínez.

Fresh legs are likely so regulars can rest before Saturday at San Mamés. Fringe players could come in from the bench, and Toni Martínez is a candidate to start.

Valencia arrive in Vitoria with one point from five games and four defeats. Carlos Corberán was dismissed on Sunday along with his staff, and Óscar Sánchez will take charge for now.

The expectation is that talks with a new coach will take place and that someone could take charge by the weekend. Another option is to use the international break for that overhaul. Braulio, who has left Osasuna, will be sporting director.

Alavés have three injuries. Mikel Rodríguez and Facundo Garcés have torn their anterior cruciate ligaments, and Aitor Mañas spent the night in Santander after a serious head trauma. He left El Sardinero on a stretcher and was discharged on Sunday, then travelled home by road with company.

With 10 points, Alavés are relatively calm, though they want to reach the break in good shape.
