Real Madrid have been dealt another injury setback, with Dani Carvajal facing an extended spell on the sidelines following a knee operation, while Antonio Rüdiger also remains unavailable due to a serious muscular injury.
David Alaba continues to nurse a calf problem and will be assessed closer to kickoff, but Andriy Lunin is ruled out after receiving a red card in the El Clásico defeat to Barcelona.
On a more positive note, Trent Alexander-Arnold is back in contention and could feature off the bench, allowing Federico Valverde to continue at right-back after impressing in the previous outing. Eduardo Camavinga, meanwhile, is expected to retain his place following a standout performance against Barcelona.
Up front, Vinícius Júnior — who apologised publicly for his reaction to being substituted during El Clásico — is set to start alongside Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappé in a star-studded attack.
As for Valencia, manager Rubén Baraja remains without Mouctar Diakhaby, Largie Ramazani, and Dimitri Foulquier, all sidelined through injury. Lucas Beltrán and Filip Ugrinic will face late fitness tests to determine their availability.
In attack, both Arnaut Danjuma and Hugo Duro — who have scored four goals each this season — are expected to spearhead the visitors’ frontline at the Santiago Bernabéu. Baptiste Santamaria should anchor the midfield, while captain José Gayà will provide experience and leadership at left-back.
