Mouctar Diakhaby could be set for a return to Valencia’s starting line-up as the Guinean defender was tested in central defence alongside Christian Mosquera during Wednesday’s training session at Ciutat Esportiva de Paterna.
Valencia head coach Carlos Corberán appears to be considering changes to his defensive setup ahead of their La Liga clash against Real Valladolid on Matchday 27.
The potential inclusion of Diakhaby comes as César Tárrega, a regular starter in recent matches, was absent from the tactical session — raising speculation over his availability.
Diakhaby’s possible return would signal renewed confidence from Corberán, as the 27-year-old looks to re-establish himself at the heart of Valencia’s defence.
The coming training sessions will likely confirm whether the Guinean international will earn a starting berth for the crucial encounter.
Valencia will be hoping to solidify their backline as they seek to climb the La Liga standings in the closing stages of the season.
