Scores, taken off injured Perez scored a goal before being taken off due to muscle fatigue in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Mallorca.

Impact Perez would score the lone goal of Sunday's match for Villarreal, but it was not all good for the attacker, as he would leave the pitch later with an injury.

Suffers muscular injury Perez (muscular) remains out for the time being due to injury, according to coach Marcelino Total. "Ayoze didn't only suffer a knock, he has a muscular lesion."

Impact Perez is sidelined with a muscle injury and will be out for the time being as he works through recovery. The striker is targeting a return during the international break with hopes of being back in the mix in early April. He had started the previous three matches before going down, so his absence reshuffles the attacking rotation, with Gerard Moreno and George Mikautadze in line for increased minutes, while Tajon Buchanan could also see a boost in playing time if Nicolas Pepe is deployed in a two-striker setup rather than out wide.

Remains out Perez (undisclosed) remains out for the time being due to injury, according to coach Marcelino Total.

Impact Perez has been limited in training since last week while dealing with an injury and will remain sidelined for Friday's matchup against Alaves. The forward doesn't have a clear timetable for his return but will aim to get back in the mix for next week's fixture against Real Sociedad. Until then, Nicolas Pepe is expected to shoulder a bigger role in the front line, though Gerard Moreno could also push his way back into the starting XI.

Not available Sunday Perez (undisclosed) won't be an option for Sunday's clash against Elche, according to coach Marcelino Total. "Perez won't be available for us."

Impact Perez has been on a managed training schedule this week and ultimately won't be ready for Sunday's showdown with Elche, as he couldn't shake off the issue that's been bothering him over the past few days. It's a tough break for the Yellow Submarine, as Perez has been a regular starter up front and his absence will force a reshuffle in the starting XI. Nicolas Pepe now stands out as the leading candidate to partner in attack, with Gerard Moreno (undisclosed) only just back in the mix.

Impact Perez looks to be questionable heading into Sunday's contest, with the attacker absent from training for a second consecutive day. This is a major concern for them as he has started in their past three games, potentially forcing Tani Oluwaseyi or Gerard Moreno (undisclosed) to start. This adds to Perez's recent struggles, with his last goal contribution coming Dec. 6, 12 games ago.

Impact Perez has apparently suffered a last-minute injury during the week, and it's unclear how long he'll be sidelined. Despite recording no direct contributions over his last seven matches played between league and UCL play, the experienced attacker was expected to start as part of a two-man front line Wednesday, but this situation forces the team to resort to Tani Oluwaseyi and Georges Mikautadze, with Nicolas Pepe offering an alternative if he moves from the right wing to a central spot.
