Otorbi out with thigh muscle injury after Villarreal game
Valencia's medical report confirms the right thigh injury suffered at Mestalla against Villarreal, with an estimated six to eight weeks out.
The Valencia medical report has confirmed that David Otorbi has a muscle injury in his right thigh, sustained in the match against Villarreal at Mestalla last Saturday. According to Mundo Deportivo, the club has not set an official timeline, but the winger is expected to be out for six to eight weeks.
Otorbi was making his first start under Javier Aguirre when he tried to launch a counterattack after a long ball from Stole Dimitrievski. He grabbed his thigh and had to leave the pitch on a stretcher, in tears. He will now follow a medical, physio and reconditioning plan at the Ciudad Deportiva de Paterna, and his progress will decide when he returns.
A hard blow for the academy product, one of the best players at the club in a season to forget so far.
