Hugo González, who was not in Rubén Baraja's plans after the arrival of Luis Rioja, has been loaned to Cartagena until the end of the season. Despite Valencia currently having only Diego López and the newly incorporated Luis Rioja as wingers, Baraja preferred to let Hugo González go to gain experience in Segunda and return next season with first-team dynamics. González participated in several matches last season, both in La Liga and Copa, but was not called up for the first two league matches this season as Baraja had already asked him to go on loan.
