Out 2-3 months
Sadiq suffered a severe hamstring tear and is expected to miss 2-3 months, the club announced.
Analysis: Sadiq picked up hamstring discomfort during Sunday's match against Deportivo La Coruna, where he scored Valencia's only goal, and was later seen limping at Paterna before tests revealed a severe hamstring tear. He is expected to be sidelined for two to three months and will undergo medical treatment, physiotherapy and rehabilitation as he works toward a return, with his recovery to be assessed over the coming weeks. The lengthy absence will leave Carlos Corberan relying on Hugo Duro and Arnaut Danjuma in attack while Sadiq progresses through his rehabilitation program.
Facing months out
Sadiq suffered a significant hamstring tear that could keep him out for several months, according to Ivan Herraiz of COPE.
Analysis: Sadiq is likely spared surgery based on initial assessments, though the tear is considered severe, adding to an already lengthy Valencia injury list. He had also dealt with a similar hamstring issue during preseason that kept him out of the club's trip to England, and with him now sidelined again after scoring the club's only goal so far this season, Hugo Duro is likely to lead the line as Valencia scrambles to address its thin attacking options before the transfer window closes.
