Working toward Saturday return
Tarrega (hamstring) was included in the squad against Racing Santander but remained an unused substitute as a precaution, according to Radio Esport Valencia.
Analysis: Tarrega was included in the squad against Racing Santander after receiving medical clearance from a right hamstring injury suffered Sept. 13, but coach Javier Aguirre opted not to risk him. The center-back is expected to gradually increase his training workload this week, with his availability against Athletic Club dependent on his progress. With Mouctar Diakhaby back in the starting lineup and Pepelu continuing in central defense, Tarrega could provide an additional defensive option if deemed fit.
Trains normally Friday
Tarrega (hamstring) completed his first team training session in total normality Friday, and is set to return for the match against Racing Santander following his injury, according to El Partit De La Una.
Analysis: Tarrega had been ruled out after suffering a hamstring injury against Sevilla that forced him off around the 23rd minute, an absence that also cost him the trip to Alaves. This clean return to full training now confirms his recovery is complete, positioning him to reclaim a role in Valencia's central defense.
