Valencia winger Joaquin led out of Manchester United tie

Valencia will be without the services of winger Joaquin for Wednesday's Uefa Champions League tie against Manchester United at the Mestalla, according to Super Deporte.

Valencia winger Joaquin led out of Manchester United tieThe 29-year-old former Spain international is understood to have picked up a muscle strain during los Che's training session on Tuesday evening and as a result has been withdrawn from the squad to face the Premier League outfit.

Joaquin had been ever-present in Valencia's lineup since the start of the season but was rested for the win over Sporting Gijon at the weekend. The current Primera Division leaders go into the game on top of Group C following an opening day demolition of Bursaspor, with United looking to get their campaign back on track after being held to a scoreless draw by Rangers in their opener a fortnight ago. It is unclear as yet whether Joaquin will be fit for the visit of Athletic Bilbao to the Mestalla on Saturday.
