Sadiq misses Valencia training after a knock to the knee
The blow he took in Wednesday's session is not serious in principle, and Valencia return on Monday to prepare the trip to Rayo Vallecano on 21 November.
Nigerian forward Umar Sadiq left the Paterna training ground early on Thursday, ahead of his teammates, and missed the last session of Valencia before the league break. He took a knock to the joint of his knee during Wednesday's training and walked out with the knee wrapped in a bandage, travelling by taxi. According to Mundo Deportivo, Javier Aguirre's staff chose not to take risks, although the blow is, in principle, not serious.
The rest of the squad completed the session as normal, despite strong winds. David Otorbi and JesĂșs VĂĄzquez, who are still recovering from their injuries, trained apart, and long-term injured Diego LĂłpez remains sidelined.
The players have Friday, Saturday and Sunday off. The squad returns to Paterna on Monday to prepare the match against Rayo Vallecano, on Saturday 21 November at 16:15, in matchday 13 of LaLiga.
