Spanish outfit Valencia could be without Aymen Abdennour for the next few weeks as the Tunisian defender injured his hamstring, the club announced Wednesday.
"According to a medical examination this morning, Aymen Abdennour has a muscle injury to his left hamstring," the club wrote on its website. "His recovery from the injury will be assessed shortly."
The 26-year-old suffered the injury during Tuesday's 1-0 win in a Champions League encounter with French side Lyon. Abdennour was instrumental in securing the win in Group H during the hour he played before being substituted off with the injury.
