European absence
The 31-year-old set Unai Emery's side on course for a 3-0 Copa del Rey defeat of Club Portugalete last night before picking up the injury at the start of the second half and being replaced by Vícente Rodríguez. Angulo – who has made eight Liga appearances this season – is expected to miss the UEFA Cup Group G games at Rosenborg BK on 27 November, at home to Club Brugge KV a week later and the 17 December trip to AS Saint Etienne. Valencia drew their opening fixture with FC København at the Mestalla a week ago.
