Mouctar Diakhaby sparked alarm at Valencia CF after getting injured against Celta. The defender underwent surgery this Friday for a serious muscle tear in his right hamstring, with tendon involvement.

Medical tests revealed significant bleeding, leading to a prompt surgical decision. The player had already suffered a similar injury in October, a key precedent. The operation took place at the IMSKE hospital in Valencia. As reported by Marca, the estimated recovery time exceeds four months, practically ruling Diakhaby out for the remainder of LaLiga.

Mouctar Diakhaby and a long-term absence

The injury comes at the worst possible time for Valencia CF. Diakhaby had just overcome a knee dislocation suffered in March 2024 and was seeking continuity this season. The medical team, in agreement with the player, opted for surgery to prevent further risks. The priority is full recovery, although the calendar is not favorable.

The club is already considering requesting Mouctar Diakhaby's federation leave. This measure would free up a spot and allow up to 80% of his salary to be used for reinforcements.

Valencia CF moves for a new center-back

Diakhaby's absence forces Valencia CF to reassess its strategy. The focus shifts from signing one center-back to pursuing two defensive additions. For Carlos Corberán, the situation is critical. Eray Comert is not in his plans, and César Tárrega has been dealing with discomfort since before the Christmas break.

Additionally, José Copete is one card away from suspension, adding urgency to the situation. The defense is on the edge.

Carlos Corberán and a necessary market move

With Mouctar Diakhaby out of action, Carlos Corberán requires immediate solutions. The club is exploring the winter market with recently freed up wage space. The message is clear at Mestalla. The injury to the Guinean center-back has altered the script, and Valencia CF must strengthen to survive in LaLiga.
