Ricardo Costa Out for 4 weeks

Ricardo Costa is out for at least 4 weeks with a hamstring tear he received during a training session.  This injury comes at a bad time for the injury plagued Valencia.  Costa joins Ever Banega, Sergio Canales, Hedwidges Maduro, and Bruno Saltor on the list of the fallen.  Fortunately for Valencia, Costa is a center back, a position in where there is still depth (Angel Dealbert)  and healthy starters (Adil Rami and Victor Ruiz).

Unfortunately for Costa, it had appeared as if Emery decided to give him his chance in the first team again; Costa started against Athletic Bilbao alongside Victor Ruiz.  This injury will certainly push back his bid for a first team start.
