La Liga outfit Valencia have this week announced a heavy fitness setback in the club’s first-team ranks.

This comes amid confirmation that defensive standout Mouctar Diakhaby.

Stopper Diakhaby for his part set alarm bells sounding across the Valencia fanbase this past weekend.

As much came after the Guinea international was forced to limp out of Los Che’s La Liga meeting with Girona inside the opening three minutes.

Diakhaby pulled up suddenly with what appeared to be a hamstring problem, before quickly limping from the field of play.

And as alluded to above, following a round of medical tests, the nature of the 28-year-old’s injury has since been revealed.

As per a statement released across Valencia’s website and social media platforms:

‘After all the tests carried out, the Valencia CF player, Mouctar Diakhaby, is suffering from an injury to the hamstring muscles of his right leg, sustained during the match against Girona FC.

‘The Valencia CF player will undergo medical, physiotherapy and readaptation treatment at the Ciudad Deportiva until clinical improvement.’

According to Mundo Deportivo, Diakhaby is expected to be sidelined for ‘several weeks’.
