Diakhaby (thigh) continued training with the rest of the squad Tuesday and is on track to return for Sunday's clash with Racing Santander, barring any setbacks, according to Diario AS.
Analysis: Diakhaby continues to make strong progress after spending several weeks on the sidelines with an adductor injury, and his continued involvement in team training puts him firmly on track to return to the squad Sunday. The center back had started three straight matches before the injury interrupted his run in the XI, so getting him back would provide a timely boost to Valencia's defensive rotation. He'll have the rest of the week to build up his workload and prove he's ready for match action.
Takes another step toward full reintegration
Diakhaby (thigh) has taken another step toward joining the group, completing part of training with the rest of the squad under new coach Javier Aguirre, according to El Gol Digital.
Analysis: Diakhaby continues to progress in his recovery from the adductor injury that interrupted a stretch of three straight starts, and his continued involvement now widens the defensive options for new coach Javier Aguirre as he gets to know his squad. He should be back in contention for central defense after the international break, with Cesar Tarrega, Pepelu and Arnau Martinez having filled in during his absence.
