Alarm bells for Carlos Corberán as Valencia’s injury list grows | OneFootball

Valencia’s problems are piling up. Beyond poor results, a lean Ron Gourlay window and Meriton’s mismanagement, an expanding injury list is already biting Carlos Corberán.

According to Superdeporte, Mouctar Diakhaby was the latest concern, forced off in the 62nd minute against Barcelona with a physical issue. Iker Córdoba replaced him for a testing first team debut. Tests are pending, and the defender’s contract runs to 30 June.

Valencia have endured a significant setback in each of their four league games. Diakhaby’s case alarms because staff had built a summer plan to manage his workload after repeated injuries. Tárrega was initially held back against Barça, then used after the break.

The sequence began on opening day against Celta at Mestalla, when Justin de Haas was withdrawn at half time with a right ankle problem. Tests later confirmed a lateral ligament complex sprain. He started treatment and rehabilitation, with no public return date.

Next, Guido Rodríguez featured against Real Betis until the 88th minute, then suffered fresh issues. On 29 August Valencia said he had a right quadriceps muscle injury, starting treatment and readaptation. His absence has constrained Corberán’s options in midfield and at the back.

At Deportivo de La Coruña, Umar Sadiq sustained a problem in the hamstring region, although he finished the match. Three games, three new issues, then Barcelona brought a fourth.

Valencia visit Sevilla FC at the Sánchez Pizjuán on Friday, then face Alavés, led by Quique Sánchez Flores, at Mendizorroza on Tuesday. The club are exploring the free agent market for a striker.
