On the other side, Villareal will not be able to play Argentinian international Juan Foyth since he’s out with a knee injury he picked up against Getafe. Veteran goalkeeper Pepe Reina is also said to be out with an injury for “Los Che’s”. Alberto Moreno is expected to come back from his knee injury but is still in doubt, as well as Gerard Moreno, who could miss out again due to his thigh problem.
