Overview
- Valencia resumed training under Carlos Corberán, with Stole Dimitrievski the only early absentee due to national-team duty ahead of his return on Tuesday.
- The next fixtures are set: Alavés away on Oct. 20, Villarreal on Oct. 25, Copa del Rey at Maracena on Oct. 28, Real Madrid on Nov. 1, and Real Betis on Nov. 9.
- Valencia seek to reset after defeats to Oviedo and Girona, heading to a stadium where they have not won since 2017 and facing an Alavés side with 11 points and one of LaLiga’s stingiest defenses.
- Alavés returned to work with Diarra and Calebe back in full training, Mariano on an individual recovery plan, and Toni Martínez over a recent shoulder issue.
- Separately, bottom-placed Mallorca returned from a short break to prepare for Sevilla this weekend and a Copa tie at Atlètic Sant Just on Oct. 29 in a compact run that will shape their survival push.
