In late August, Largie Ramazani made a splash by joining Valencia on a season-long loan from Leeds United. Hopes were high, but it’s been a bit of a rocky start for the 24-year-old winger. So far, he’s clocked just 85 minutes on the pitch, all from five substitute appearances.
Unfortunately, news broke on Tuesday that Ramazani is dealing with a quadriceps injury on his right leg. Valencia announced he’ll be receiving treatment at their facilities, but it seems they’re keeping the details about his return under wraps for now.
Then, things took a turn when Wednesday’s Mundo Deportivo reported that he had suffered a setback during training. Yikes! Initial estimates suggest he could be sidelined for at least a month. Over at El Desmarque, the buzz is even more concerning, hinting that tests may show he’ll be out for longer than that. If their report is correct, we could be looking at him missing at least six league matches, plus one in the Copa del Rey.
Meanwhile, AS added to the mix by confirming that his quadriceps injury would likely keep him off the field for about a month. The silver lining, if you can call it that, is the possibility of him returning just in time for a clash against Levante, right after November’s international break—fingers crossed, right?
On the business side of things, Valencia hasn’t locked in any purchase option for Ramazani, meaning he’s set to head back to Leeds after this season. It’s a bit disappointing, especially since his loan started off on a promising note. But with these injuries, Leeds might not see the kind of transfer fee they were hoping for.
For now, fans and teammates alike will be holding their breath as they wait for updates. Here’s hoping Ramazani can bounce back soon and get back to showcasing his talent on the pitch!
