Valencia hit by Aaron blow
Niguez Aaron looks set to be ruled out for three weeks with a thigh injury.
Valencia's injury curse struck again during their UEFA Champions League defeat to Roma as Niguez Aaron picked up a problem that will keep him out for three weeks.Due to Valencia's lengthy list of absentees, coach Quique Sanchez Flores was forced to draft in the young striker for his first-team debut, but he limped off the pitch after just 27 minutes
And tests have now revealed that Aaron suffered a small tear in his thigh muscle and will not return until after Christmas.
"It hurt a lot and I thought it was a tear," he said. "It was a great opportunity for me, but a shame because I injured myself after 20 minutes.
"I am now going to try to return with the objective of playing for Valencia.
"It was still a great experience to make my debut for Valencia, and especially against Roma. It was a big moment for me."
Valencia's extensive injury list already includes Asier Del Horno, David Albelda, Carlos Marchena, Mario Regueiro, Emiliano Moretti, Jaime Gavilan, Fernando Morientes and David Villa.
