Valencia coach Rino Gattuso says their clash with Rayo Vallecano will come too soon for new signing Edinson Cavani.

Released by Manchester United, the veteran striker signed for VCF last week, having missed preseason training.

Gattuso said, "He will continue to work in the same way. It's early. He has been training very well and I think next week he will start being available to us.

"I'm not a magician. The week has gone very well for him. The week before we had more doubts, but this week he has worked very well and I think that next week he can train with us. My priority now is Rayo.

"This week I have not thought about Celta. I speak with the medical staff and they tell me that Cavani is improving, and on Sunday we will talk about when he can be part of the squad."
