Valencia’s nightmare deepens as Sadiq sidelined with major muscle injury | OneFootball

Valencia’s grim start has worsened, with Sadiq facing weeks out after a significant muscle injury sustained against Deportivo. He will miss Sunday’s game against Barcelona.

The Nigerian suffered the tear on Sunday at Riazor. According to AS, he could be sidelined for more than a month, and Valencia have not yet issued an official medical report.

The setback comes with 24 hours left of the transfer window, deepening Carlos Corberán’s headaches. Valencia have taken only one point from nine and performances have been worrying.

Sadiq now joins Guido Rodríguez on the casualty list. The Argentine midfielder was injured against Betis.

His absence hurts Corberán’s attack because Sadiq was the only Valencia scorer in the opening three league games. The coach is left with Hugo Duro and Arnaut Danjuma, and both are not in their best moment in front of goal.
