[Saba Sports News] According to Spanish media reports, Valencia’s only three wingers are all injured, leaving the team with a very bleak lineup for the start of the next season. At the Paris Olympics, Diego Lopez limped through the final minutes of the match after coming on as a substitute for a few minutes, which greatly concerned Valencia coach Ruben Baraja Vegas because the team no longer has any healthy wingers. A few days ago, the club officially announced that Sergi Canos Tenes has an injured soleus muscle with an unpredictable recovery time. Earlier, Fran Perez also strained a muscle and missed the subsequent warm-up matches. In previous warm-up matches, Valencia scored only one goal in four games, directly related to the team’s weak wing play. Considering that Valencia has not won a match since April 15th and looking at the early fixtures of next season, they are likely to set a new embarrassing record for win-less streaks.
