Villarreal: Another who falls at Villarreal: Estupin, three weeks out

LThe tests carried out confirmed the worst omens and Pervis Estupin joins the list of Villarreal casualties. The Ecuadorian full-back, who was injured with his national team in last Tuesday’s game against Uruguay, suffers a myofascial damage to the hamstring in his right leg. The period of sick leave oscillates between two and three weeks, which joins the absences of Gerard Moreno, Chakla and Coquelin.

Given that the calendar will compress with the arrival of the European competition in the coming weeks, the former Osasuna could miss the league matches against Valencia, Cdiz and Valladolid and the continental debut of the yellows against Sivasspor and Qarabag. For these meetings and in his position, Unai Emery has the alternatives of Jaume Costa and Alfonso Pedraza.

The main novelty in Villarreal’s return to work was the presence of Juan Foyth. The Argentine international, who signed with the yellow team on the closing of the summer market, arrived in Vila-real this Wednesday morning and, after passing the relevant tests, joined the training sessions with the rest of the internationals.

Foyth, who signed in Madrid on October 3, had not even visited Vila-real, since from the capital itself he took a flight to Buenos Aires to join the call for his selection. After the first contact, the player is already at the disposal of the Basque coach and will have the opportunity to debut in the next few days.
