MADRID - Valencia midfielders David
Albelda and Joaquin will miss the visit of leaders Barcelona
after being ruled out with injuries on Thursday, the Primera
Liga club said.
Albelda twisted ligaments in his left ankle during training
and is expected to be out for two to three weeks. Winger Joaquin
damaged his right ankle against Real Betis on Wednesday and will
be sidelined for up to two weeks.
Valencia are fourth, in the last Champions League
qualification slot, and after hosting Barca on Saturday still
have to face Real Madrid, Villarreal and Atletico Madrid.
