Escapes serious injury Coquelin subbed off after 25 minutes of Saturday's 2-2 draw with Elche and his club announced Sunday that he did not suffer a bone bruise or sprain.

Impact Coquelin has had injury problems throughout his career and only just started each of the last two matches after missing much of December. Because of that history, his status is now questionable for Sunday's match against Real Betis, and Moi Gomez could play a central-midfield role if Coquelin remains out or limited.

Records four interceptions Coquelin recorded four interceptions, two clearances and one block in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Real Sociedad.

Impact Coquelin's four interceptions marked both his team and season highs. It was his first start in La Liga since Oct. 25, so it can be presumed he will not log many starts for Villarreal this season. Coquelin did not start and got benched before and after injuring his hamstring.

Returns to bench Coquelin (hamstring) is on the bench for Friday's match against Celta Vigo.

Impact Coquelin is back in the squad Friday for the first time since Dec. 13 because of a hamstring injury. He's battled numerous injuries throughout the season and will now lose playing time to recent signing Etienne Capoue, who comes over from Watford.

Injures hamstring in draw Coquelin suffered an injury to his left hamstring during Sunday's 1-1 draw with Real Betis.

Impact Coquelin had already come off the bench to replace Vicente Iborra (torn ACL) before he too had to come off early. With Coquelin likely to miss at least a week and potentially two, Alex Baena appears to be the only healthy central midfielder left, although Takefusa Kubo may also be called upon for matches against Osasuna and Athletic Bilbao.

Prevents damage in start Coquelin won eight duels during a 0-0 draw against Eibar on Sunday.

Impact It was Coquelin's first La Liga start since Sept. 27 at Barcelona. He proved useful, helping Villarreal record 77 percent possession and limiting the opposition on defense. Coquelin will look to play more in November after playing just 112 league minutes during October.
