Unai Núñez undergoes tests after discomfort in Valencia’s defeat to Celta | OneFootball

Unai Núñez underwent medical tests on Tuesday after feeling minor discomfort in Valencia’s match against Celta Vigo at Mestalla. According to Superdeporte, the club are calm and, pending final results, a serious issue is not expected.

The centre-back, on loan at Valencia from the Galician club, left the pitch in the 63rd minute. The game finished 2-3 after a second-half comeback by the visitors, and early assessments suggested his problem was minor.

Despite the squad having a day off, Núñez reported to the Ciudad Deportiva de Paterna for diagnostic checks. He departed the facility with club medical staff, who are now evaluating the exact extent of the issue.

Valencia’s coaches are awaiting the results to determine whether he can feature in the next league fixture against Elche CF at the Martínez Valero. His availability will be key to maintaining the team’s defensive solidity.

Since arriving, Núñez has fitted quickly into the system. His ability to operate at centre-back and out wide makes him a valuable option.

Valencia hope to have the Basque defender back as soon as possible, with his progress set to dictate involvement during a demanding phase of the season.
