Danjuma starts as Valencia and Celta confirm XIs for LaLiga clash | OneFootball

Valencia and Celta have named their XIs at Mestalla, with Arnaut Danjuma leading the line and Carlos Corberán keeping a back five. Jesús Vázquez operates on the opposite flank and Pepelu drops into the centre of defence. Corberán is without Rioja, Foulquier, Copete and Diego López.

According to AS, PSV are willing to pay Danjuma’s release clause, set at six million euros, half of which would go to Villarreal, and Celta are finalising a significant midfield change involving a Uruguayan departure and advanced talks for a Portuguese from Valencia.

Valencia XI: Dimitrievski, Jesús Vázquez, Tárrega, Pepelu, De Haas, Gayà, Ugrinic, Guido, Sato, Javi Guerra, Danjuma. Sato makes his LaLiga debut after an eye-catching pre-season.

Celta XI: Radu, Javi Rodríguez, Yoel Lago, Marcos Alonso, Carreira, Miguel Román, Febas, Javi Galán, El-Abdellaoui, Hugo Álvarez, Jutglà. Febas starts his first match and Javi Galán returns to the XI. Iago Aspas and Borja Iglesias begin on the bench.

Corberán has lost two of his three LaLiga meetings with Claudio Giráldez. Only against Diego Pablo Simeone has he suffered more defeats in the Spanish top flight, with three, and he also has two against Hansi Flick and Marcelino García Toral.

Hugo González returns to his home city as one of Celta’s summer revelations. He made his top flight debut under Baraja three years ago.

In a friendly exchange, Valencia sent a Galician video to mark Celta’s last visit to Mestalla and the visitors replied in Valencian.
