Back with squad in preseason
Diakhaby has resumed full training with the squad during Valencia's preseason stage in Girona, having recovered from the hamstring injury that ended his last campaign early, per El Desmarque.
ANALYSIS
Diakhaby is training normally with his teammates after recovering from the right hamstring injury that ruled him out for the remainder of last season. The centerback underwent surgery in January for the issue, which followed a prior hamstring setback and an earlier serious knee injury that had already cost him significant time during his Valencia career. Despite being back in full training, Diakhaby is not expected to be part of the starting lineup to open the season, with Justin De Haas and Cesar Tarrega projected as Carlos Corberan's starting centerback pairing.
