Valencia's Diakhaby suffers severe leg injury in Real Madrid draw
Valencia's Guinea defender Mouctar Diakhaby suffered a serious leg injury as his team drew 2-2 with Spanish Liga leaders Real Madrid on Saturday.
Diakhaby, 27, was stretchered off with a minute left of normal time after a collision with Madrid's France defender Aurelien Tchouameni at the Mestalla. Players from both teams were visibly shaken.

The game finished in controversial fashion as Real's players, substitutes and coaches flooded the pitch at fulltime after referee Jesus Gil Manzano blew the final whistle seconds before Jude Bellingham thought he had claimed a 99th-minute winner.
Madrid's second draw in three league games leaves the 35-time Spanish champions seven points clear of second-placed Girona, who head to lowly Mallorca on Sunday.
The hosts led 2-0 after just half an hour as striker Hugo Duro and Roman Yaremchuk deservedly put Valencia in the lead.
Real's reaction came five minutes into first half injury time with Vinicius Junior's first goal.
The Brazil attacker then equalised with 14 minutes to play.
The game marked his return to a ground, where he was racially abused last season.
Madrid pushed forward for a winner as Diakhaby attempted to clear but his right leg was trapped under Tchouameniin the 89th minute.
