Valencia fear that Spain international Carlos Marchena's hamstring injury will force him to miss up to four weeks of first-team action.

Marchena sustained the injury during Spain's win against Armenia at the weekend and seems certain to be sidelined until next month.

Valencia's team doctor Dr Jordi Candel told the club's official website: "He had an ultrasound and then an MRI scan, which confirmed a small tear in the muscle.

"As a result, his recovery time will be three or four weeks. He will have treatment with gradually increasing workloads and, little by little, he can be reincorporated into the group."
