While waiting for Valencia to carry out further tests on Gaya after the setback he suffered in the league game against Girona on the penultimate matchday, Miguel Angel Díaz said on 'COPE' that Luis de la Fuente has Marc Cucurella and Alejandro Grimaldo in mind for his Euro squad in case the wing-back does not make it in time.

Left-back Jose Luis Gaya is awaiting an MRI scan after suffering a muscle tear in his right quadriceps on Sunday, which kept him out of action for two months.
A week before Luis de la Fuente announces the list of 26 players called up for the European Championship on the 27th, Gaya came on as a substitute in the 61st minute, replacing Cenk Ozkacar of Turkey, but just 11 minutes later he had to be replaced by Andre Almeida.
After two months on the sidelines due to a quadriceps injury, the player pushed in recent weeks to be available for the last league games due to the injury of Jesus Vazquez, who had been his replacement during his injury, but above all, because of his desire to be ready before Luis de la Fuente included him in the final list for the European Championship.
The left-back was already called up for the last World Cup in Qatar, but while he was already in the Middle East country with the national team, he suffered a sprained right ankle that led Luis Enrique to withdraw him and call up Alejandro Balde, a situation that could be repeated for the international, who could have relapsed from a muscle injury just days before the players who will travel to the European Championship are confirmed.
Miguel Angel Diaz, in 'COPE', says that Bayer Leverkusen's Alejadro Grimaldo and Chelsea's Marc Cucurella are favourites to go to Germany if the Valencia captain does not.
