Due to the devastation that hit the Valencian community due to storm DANA, Valencia's match against Real Madrid was postponed in early November. While it was the right decision not to play the match, it has caused a problem in its rescheduling.
Real Madrid's limited schedule has meant that there are not many openings for the match, although it is now almost certain that the match will be played in early January, just before the winter break ends. However, it will not be on the 2nd, as Marca has reported that this proposal has been rejected by the Association of Spanish Footballers (AFE).
Instead, it has been proposed that the match will be played 24 hours later, on the 3rd. This would have a knock-on effect on the Copa del Rey matches that Valencia and Real Madrid will play a few days later, although no further problems should arise.
