After Giorgi Mamardashvili picked up a red card during the first half of Valencia’s trip to Barcelona at the end of last month, Jaume Domenech was thrust into the team for the first time in a La Liga match in almost two years. He produced a solid performance, but could not stop Los Che from going down 4-2 at the Estadi Olimpic.
With Mamardashvili suspended for last weekend’s hosting of Alaves, Jaume made his first league start for Valencia since the final match of the 2021-22 season. However, his performance lasted only 34 minutes, as he was crucially forced off with an injury.
Valencia have now confirmed that it is an injury to the rectus femoris tendon of the quadriceps of his right leg. He will be required to undergo surgery to repair the damage, and according to Deportes COPE Valencia, the 33-year-old is expected to be out of action for the next 4-5 months.
