Tajon Buchanan out for several games with hamstring injury

Villarreal face a major setback with Tajon Buchanan sidelined: medical tests confirm a small tear in the hamstring area, forcing him to miss matches.

As MARCA reports, the midfielder had already been dealing with hamstring issues following his selection’s match against Peru, and his recovery period will land right in the most intense stretch of the season. The first game he misses is a trip to the Bernabéu, with more pressure ahead in the Champions League against Napoli, a visit to Anfield to face Liverpool, and the regional derby versus Valencia.

With Buchanan unavailable, Iñigo Pérez will need to reshuffle plans and find a replacement for his role.
