Gayà undergoes consultation in Valencia: his ankle is ready to play on Wednesday against Costa Rica!

Fernando Giner accompanied José Luis Gayà from Doha to Valencia. The delegate of the National Team, former director of Valencia and president of the Valencia Footballers Association, who returns to Qatar on Monday, will hit 12,000 round-trip kilometers just to avoid leaving Gayà alone and thus give the player emotional support , that I needed it, because the captain of Valencia wandered through the terminals, but without any physical impediment; not even symptoms of pain or discomfort when supporting your ankle when walking.

In Valencia, Luis Enrique’s decision is followed with disbelief. In fact, he understands himself even less once his captain has returned and his ankle has passed through the hands of the club’s medical services. Gayà went directly from the Barajas airport to the Ciudad Deportiva de Paterna by car and Valencia specialists were waiting for him there to find out in what state their player was returning. Conclusion: if Gattuso’s Valencia had a match on Wednesday as Spain has against Costa Rica, Gayà would not be ruled out.

Luis Enrique acknowledged in his speech as a ‘streamer’ that Gayà’s injury was “mild” and after the tests to which the player has been subjected, from Valencia “very, very, very slight” was added. Gayà assumed the coach’s decision with discipline. He summons, he unsummons. But he cannot find an explanation for what has happened to him in the last 72 hours, although his noble character prevents him from saying more than he did before heading to Spain, and his face when he left the Sports City of Paterna was a reflection of his soul. Now Gayà is going on vacation to disconnect mentally and on Saturday the 26th, like the rest of Gattuso’s players, he will join Valencia’s training sessions.

Valencia, where it rains on wet in its tense relationship with the Royal Spanish Federation of Rubiales (Super Cup lawsuit, sanction of four games to Gayà himself, critical comment towards Valencia leaked in a private WhatsApp conversation of Rubiales…), does not consider that Gayà’s inconveniences comply with the requirements indicated by FIFA in its regulations when it comes to calling off and summoning another player within 24 hours of the debut in the World Cup. After all, that exception is collected for “serious” injuries.
