The full picture
Valencia winger David Otorbi suffered a hamstring injury against Villarreal, which could impact a potential January transfer, according to Inside Futbol. Otorbi was stretchered off early in the first half due to discomfort in his hamstring. The injury is believed to be a hamstring tear, but tests to determine its severity are scheduled for Tuesday. Liverpool and Newcastle United are among the Premier League clubs interested in signing Otorbi.
Newcastle United and Liverpool are reportedly keen on signing Otorbi in January, but his injury could jeopardize the move. Newcastle sent two coaches to watch Otorbi play against Racing Santander earlier this month. Otorbi's agent revealed that several Premier League clubs have made contact regarding a potential transfer. The timeline for Otorbi's recovery will be crucial in determining whether a January move is possible.
Otorbi has extended his contract with Valencia until 2028, giving the club significant negotiating power. Valencia is currently struggling in the relegation zone with only one league win this season. If the team continues to struggle, Otorbi may become a more attainable target for interested clubs. The severity of Otorbi's injury and Valencia's performance will be key factors in determining his potential transfer.

Source context
Valencia winger David Otorbi is sweating over an injury picked up against Villarreal, which could jeopardise a January move, amid Liverpool and Newcastle United both being keen on him. On Saturday, Valencia welcomed Villarreal to the Mestalla for their tenth La Liga fixture of the season, desperate for a win as they languish in the relegation zone. However, a moment of indiscipline from Liverpool loanee Harvey Elliott – for which he has apologised – which resulted in a red card, coupled with goals from Alexander Freeman and Georges Mikautadze, handed the Yellow Submarine a narrow 2-1 victory.
