Valencia defender Ezequiel Garay is expected to miss the rest of the season after undergoing surgery on a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament.
Garay hurt his right knee in the first half of Saturday’s 1-0 victory over Celta Vigo at Mestalla and was replaced by Mouctar Diakhaby.
Valencia confirmed on Monday the 33-year-old centre-back is set to undergo surgery and faces a lengthy absence.
Albert Celades’ team sit fifth in LaLiga, two points adrift of Sevilla and Getafe, and face Granada in the Copa del Rey quarter-finals on Tuesday.
