Valencia handed Otorbi boost before trip to Sánchez Pizjuán | OneFootball

Valencia’s bruising 0-5 defeat by Barcelona was compounded by injuries, yet Otorbi could still make the squad for the Sánchez Pizjuán. According to Superdeporte, his physical issues are improving quicker than first feared.

The winger finished with significant discomfort and muscular overload in several areas, a situation that could become a tear if mismanaged. Early examinations have provided cautious optimism.

By contrast, Diakhaby faces a bleaker outlook. After a flat display with little reaction and with only one of 12 points, Friday’s visit to Sevilla could mark a turning point, both mentally and on the pitch.

Otorbi had been close to being ruled out of the starting XI for Sevilla. His minutes have risen lately after going unused against Celta de Vigo and coming on too late against Betis.

His involvement now rests on how he feels in the final training session and, ultimately, on the head coach’s decision. Valencia plan to wait until the last moment to decide whether he starts or is kept as an impact option.
