International duty
Aimar has been struggling to shake off a niggling groin injury that he picked up while playing for Argentina last week in a 2006 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Ecuador.
Other worries
To add to Valencia's worries, left winger Vicente Rodríguez sprained his ankle in Sunday's 2-0 league win against Real Murcia CF and is a doubt for Thursday's game. Coach Rafael Benítez also has question marks against the fitness of Miguel Angulo, who has a chest infection, and Francisco Rufete, who is recovering from bruised ribs.
