Valencia vs Celta probable line-ups for LaLiga opener at Mestalla | OneFootball

LaLiga begins for Valencia on Saturday 22 August at Mestalla against Celta de Vigo, who are preparing for another season in Europe. The hosts have a largely settled starting line-up for the opener.

According to Superdeporte, the plan points to a 5-3-2, with Jesús Vázquez tried on the right in Paterna this week. Late arrivals could yet make it in time, including Arnau Martínez, and a completed deal for Maffeo could also change the picture. The squad still needs work, with Ron Gourlay aiming to reinforce every line.

Among the absentees, Copete is sidelined until October. Diego López and Sergi Canós will not play again this year after cruciate ligament ruptures.

Alberto Marí is also out for this matchday as the club seeks an exit for him, as are Foulquier and Rioja. The Alicante striker is at the same physical level as his team-mates, while Foulquier continues work with reconditioning staff.

Probable line-ups: Valencia CF, Dimitrievski, Gayà, De Haas, Pepelu, Tárrega, Jesús Vázquez, Guido, Ugrinic, Guerra, Sato, Hugo Duro. Celta de Vigo, Radu, Marcos Alonso, Starfelt, Rodríguez, Carreira, Febas, Román, Rueda, Williot, Hugo González, Jutglà.
