Valenciavs.Real Madrid

sportsmole.co.uk, 1 January 2025, 20:08
Valencia are expected to have 19-year-old centre-back Yarek Gasiorowski in their XI for Friday's La Liga clash with Real Madrid.

The Spaniard, who has featured on 12 occasions during the 2024-25 campaign, is believed to be on Real Madrid's radar, as Los Blancos bid to improve their defensive options during this summer's transfer window.

Gasiorowski is likely to line up in the middle of the Valencia defence on Friday and should be partnered by another highly-rated youngster in the shape of Cristhian Mosquera.

Valencia will be missing Jose Gaya, Mouctar Diakhaby and Thierry Correia through injury on Friday, while Fran Perez and Giorgi Mamardashvili may also again miss out for the home side.

Los Che will also be without the services of Pepelu, as the midfielder picked up a milestone yellow card after featuring off the bench in the 2-2 draw with Alaves last time out.

Javi Guerra operated in a deeper midfield role against Alaves, and that is again expected to be the case here, with Diego Lopez, Andre Almeida and Dani Gomez possibily providing the support to centre-forward Hugo Duro.

Dani Gomez netted a late equaliser off the bench against Alaves, and he could benefit from Perez's injury problem to feature down the right for the six-time Spanish champions.

Valencia possible starting lineup: Dimitrievski; Foulquier, Mosquera, Gasiorowski, Rioja; Barrenechea, Guerra; D Gomez, Almeida, D Lopez; Duro
