Valencia team news for Osasuna, Beltrán out as Thierry cleared to start | OneFootball

Carlos Corberán has outlined Valencia’s selection picture before matchday 26 against Osasuna, confirming Lucas Beltrán remains out while Thierry Correia is available to start.

According to Superdeporte, Renzo Saravia will not be called up yet, the right-back needs a short, accelerated pre-season after time without minutes. He has completed only two sessions with the group and will continue double training to reach the required level.

Corberán said Thierry’s readiness is timely with right-back a sensitive position. He has turned to Unai as an emergency option despite the defender being recruited for the centre of the back line.

The coach stressed that plans change by opponent, noting Osasuna and Villarreal demand opposite solutions. Using two forwards is always possible, he said, but it depends on pre-match analysis and the most suitable profile.

Beltrán’s absence forces a tweak up front as Valencia look to keep their attacking press without sacrificing defensive balance.

In the squad list, Diego López returns to bolster the attack, while Copete misses out through a blend of tactical choice and load management. López’s inclusion adds mobility and runs into space, qualities that could matter against an Osasuna side that alternates high pressing with deep retreats.

With matchday 26 looming, Valencia approach a pivotal fixture in the battle to stay up, where every selection and tactical adjustment could shape their trajectory.
