The attitudes of his teammates like those of the Real Madrid players, grabbing their faces with both hands, grimacing in pain or looking away, made Mouctar Diakhaby fear the worst.
Saturday evening, during the meeting between Valencia and Real Madrid (2-2), the former Lyonnais was taken out on a stretcher in the 86th minute, after Aurélien Tchouaméni fell involuntarily, and with all his weight, on the right leg in extension of the 27-year-old Guinean international.
The first examinations taken by the Valence CF defender confirmed his very serious injury. “Mouctar Diakhaby suffers from a dislocation of his right knee,” said his club’s press release on Sunday. This is a complete dislocation of the knee joint, generally resulting in the rupture of two to four ligaments, with one leg becoming dislocated from the thigh.
Immediately transported to hospital on Saturday evening, Diakhaby spent the night there. This Sunday, he is still “hospitalized for clinical follow-up, pending further examinations”. Given the nature of his injury, he could be unavailable for a year, according to initial medical advice.
