Otorbi continues recovery as Valencia bet on academy winger

What happened

Valencia academy winger David Otorbi is continuing his recovery from the injury he sustained on 24 October against Villarreal, according to AS. The report says the club is placing its faith in him and that the player remains focused on Valencia.

Report details

Before the injury, Otorbi had been one of the standout stories of Valencia's season. He had earned a place in the first team and was getting meaningful minutes under Javier Aguirre.

AS reports that he came close to leaving on loan in the summer, but the club's failure to make signings to reinforce the attack kept him in the first-team setup.
