Mario Suarez has apologised to Valencia teammates after a disparaging tweet this week.

In reply to a supporter, the midfielder said that he had been made to play at centre-back in the 3-3 draw against Osasuna because another teammate hadn't wanted to.

Although the tweet in question was quickly deleted, the damage was already done, says Marca.

Voro also received an apology from the 29-year-old, although the interim Valencia boss did not include the player in his squad list for Thursday evening's Copa del Rey return leg against Celta Vigo, which Los Che head into with a 4-1 deficit.
