Villarreal return to training with eyes on Real Madrid
Villarreal resume training this afternoon and prepare for 10 October vs Real Madrid after injuries and selection absences.
Villarreal return to training this afternoon with Pape Gueye in the group, after coach Iñigo Pérez granted three days off to non-internationals. The team will work continuously until Friday, then have rest over the weekend.
The session comes with two key absences: Juan Foyth has missed the last matches through injury and is nearing the end of his recovery, but Argentina ruled him out for precaution despite a call-up. Santi Comesaña also picked up a problem in the game against Málaga, and the club is still waiting to see how his left ankle injuries progress.
With 12 players away on international duty, Iñigo Pérez has limited options and will likely rely on several players from the youth setup. Villarreal are back in LaLiga on 10 October against Real Madrid, a difficult match for both sides, with the same aim: to convince, as Mundo Deportivo reports.
