Tárrega the latest Valencia casualty, out until after the international break | OneFootball

Valencia's injury list has lengthened at the start of the league campaign, with César Tárrega the latest to go down. AS reports that he was forced off in the first half against Sevilla at the Sánchez-Pizjuán with discomfort.

The centre-back headed to the bench, and club medics applied ice to the affected area.

Initial tests indicated a hamstring problem, ruling him out until after the international break. He will miss Alavés away at Mendizorroza and Real Sociedad at Mestalla.

It is a significant setback for Carlos Corberán, who has faced a spate of defensive injuries. Copete and Diakhaby remain sidelined.

De Haas returned to the squad for the Sevilla match after three weeks out, but did not play. Iker Córdoba partnered Pepelu at centre-back.

Pepelu has dropped deeper at the start of this season to cover Valencia's defensive absences.
