Valencia goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen won't play again until 2020 according to 'Radio Marca Valencia'. The Dutch goalkeeper has a calf injury and needs 2-3 weeks rest.

It isn't a serious injury for the former Barça stopper but he's been advised to take as much time as possible to rest in order to avoid setbacks. With the Christmas break coming up it's the perfect opportunity for Cillessen to recover from other knocks and discomfort he's felt this year.

 

Jaume Domenech will take his place between the sticks and was impressive during Valencia's crucial 1-0 victory against Ajax in midweek. His first match in the league is against Real Madrid.
