Bad news! Yussi Diarra suffers an injury | OneFootball

Bad news for Córdoba. Yussi Diarra, one of Iván Ania’s trusted men at the start of the season, will be sidelined for an extended period due to a muscle injury that has the green-and-white side on edge.

The club reported that the Malian midfielder has a hamstring injury in his right leg with tendon involvement. The medical report does not specify a recovery timeline, although it does warn that it will be lengthy. Diarra had to leave the pitch in the 66th minute of the match against Valladolid and has already begun his recovery under the joint supervision of the medical staffs of Córdoba and Cádiz, the club he belongs to and from which he arrived on loan this summer.

His absence is a significant setback for Ania. Although Diarra was not going through his best spell of form and was even loudly jeered against Almería when he was substituted, the coach especially valued his work in both phases of the game. Now he will have to find an alternative to partner Isma Ruiz in midfield.

Theo Zidane, who made his debut precisely in Valladolid, and Eder García, a starter until that match, appear to be two of the options to fill that role. Both will now have the chance to convince the coach.

Gate 00 will be named after Campanero

Córdoba also announced a tribute to Rafael Campanero, the honorary president who died in 2022. This Friday, Gate 00 of the Bahrain Victorious Nuevo Arcángel will be renamed in his honor in recognition of a figure who was fundamental in the club’s history. Campanero was involved in several of the club’s great milestones, including promotion to the top flight in 1971, to Segunda B in 1985, and to Segunda in 2007.
