The Spain boss is worried about the defensive midfielder's form if he stays at Mestalla and is not picked for the rest of the season.
Albelda has been a regular in the Spanish side under Aragonés as they overcame a poor start to the qualification campaign to book a place at Euro 2008.
Following the arrival of Koeman at Valenica, Albelda has been told that he is now surplus to requirements and that is causing the national boss to worry.
"It is a major concern for the national team. Albelda is the defensive protector in the team and him not playing affects us," Aragonés told Radio Marca.
"He needs to be playing, either at Valencia or another team, or we will have to look for someone else in his position."
No official explanation has been given for the Valencia trio's ostracism from the squad and there have been confusing messages coming from the club.
Over the festive break, los Ché president Juan Soler announced that none of the player's were unwelcome and would be sold, but that changed only hours later.
Koeman held a press conference and reiterated his decision to drop the three of them and start his project on a new footing.
While Cañizares has been linked to a move to Brazil, Albelda's future looks to be in England or Italy with clubs such as Juventus, Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United all monitoring his situation.
