Valencia CF midfielder Rubén Baraja has been ruled out for at least two months after injuring his right hamstring against FC Internazionale Milano on Tuesday.
Medical tests
The 31-year-old lasted just 38 minutes of the 0-0 UEFA Champions League draw at Mestalla, which saw the Spanish side reach the quarter-finals on away goals, before being replaced by Hugo Viana. Baraja joins Mario Regueiro, Edu, Jaime Gavilán (all knee ligaments) and David Navarro (bruised thigh) on the Valencia injury list, while Vicente Rodríguez will be rested for this weekend's game against CA Osasuna after suffering a minor hamstring injury against Inter.
