Ready for Almeria clash Coquelin is fit and in the starting XI for Sunday's match with Almeria.

Impact Coquelin is good to go after dealing with a partially torn muslce that kept him out of Monday's match. The midfielder makes his fifth start of the campaign in the heart of Villarreal's midfield trio.

Out due to minor tear Coquelin is dealing with a partially torn muscle, according to manager Unai Emery following Monday's 2-0 win over Osasuna.

Impact Coquelin has missed one game so far due to his injury and it's unclear how long he will be out. After starting three games on the left flank, Coquelin has to take his first enforced break of the season, a habit he's unfortunately picked up over the years through various injuries. Alex Baena started on the left side during Monday's game and could continue in that spot Thursday against Barcelona unless Manu Trigueros is fit enough to play from kickoff.

Out against Osasuna Coquelin (strain) is not in Villarreal's match day squad for Monday's clash against Osasuna.

Impact Coquelin suffered an injury in Thursday's Conference League victory against Austria Wien, and he is not fit enough to be involved on Monday. Alex Baena is starting on the left wing in his place.

Status in question Coquelin is considered a doubt to play in Monday's match against Osasuna due to a knock picked up in Thursday's UECL match against Austria Wien, according to AS.

Impact Coquelin has started in three straight games on the left wing but he may not be able to add a fourth to his record. The Frenchman is no stranger to injury over the course of his career so he'll hope his newest issue doesn't derail what has been a decent start individually. Should he miss out in Monday's game, Alex Baena could earn a second start in three games.

Out for season finale Coquelin was not involved in last weekend's victory against Barcelona.

Impact Coquelin missed roughly three months from late November to early March with an achilles injury, but he returned and played a big role in his side's run to the Champions League semifinals. Overall he scored three goals and an assist in a combined 28 appearances (14 starts) this season, mostly slotting in on the left wing in a 4-4-2, but the 31-year-old might have more opportunities back in central midfield next season if Dani Parejo and Etienne Capoue (both 33 years old) start to slow down.

Scores in loss Coquelin scored one goal from one shot and won two-of-two tackles during Sunday's 2-1 loss to Real Sociedad.

Impact Coquelin has scored twice in his last three appearances to go with four interceptions made and four tackles logged. He'll next face Barcelona, which have scored the second-most goals in the league.

Starting Sunday Coquelin is fit and in the starting XI for Sunday's match with Sevilla.

Impact Coquelin returns after picking up a head injury during midweek action against Liverpool. The midfielder starts on the left flank for Villarreal's La Liga clash with Sevilla.

Nets Tuesday Coquelin (head) scored once on one shot during Tuesday's 3-2 loss to Liverpool.

Impact Coquelin scored once and went down with multiple head injuries during Tuesday's loss. The midfielder is just returning from a muscular injury, and factoring in these multiple head injuries he suffered against Liverpool it's possible that Coquelin will be a doubt against Sevilla next time out. This was Coquelin's first Champions League goal for Villarreal as he continues to be a fringe part of the squad.

Back in starting XI Coquelin (muscular) is in the starting XI for Tuesday's match against Liverpool.

Impact Coquelin gets the call after missing the league match over the weekend with what appears to be a minor tweak he picked up in the first leg. No matter, he holds almost no fantasy upside and most of his positive numbers come from defensive stats in addition to likely not going a full 90.

Picks up muscle injury in loss Coquelin left after 57 minutes of Wednesday's 2-0 loss to Liverpool with a muscular problem and will be a doubt for Saturday's trip to Deportivo Alaves, according to El Desmarque.

Impact Coquelin has already missed three months of the season due to injury and would be a poorly-timed loss with the second leg coming up next Tuesday after the trip to Alaves. Should he be absent, more defensive responsibility will fall to Etienne Capoue, though Juan Foyth can also play in midfield when needed.

Good to face Liverpool Coquelin has trained over the past week and will be available Wednesday against Liverpool, according to manager Unai Emery.

Impact Coquelin missed the last two matches with a minor issue, but Villarreal haven't played since last Tuesday, so he's had another full week to recover. It's expected he'll resume his role in the midfield, which saw him start both matches against Bayern Munich last round, albeit with limited fantasy numbers.

Impact Coquelin hasn't played since November after suffering an achilles injury that required surgery, but he's getting closer to making his return now, even if he might not be ready for Osasuna at the weekend yet.

MARCH 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Undergoes achilles surgery Coquelin underwent surgery on his achilles and will be out for an unknown amount of time as he recovers, Villarreal announced Tuesday.

Impact Coquelin hasn't played since November since picking up his injury, and he has finally decided to operate on his achilles. He had started eight of his side's 17 games in all competitions while he was healthy, but there is no timetable for his return at the moment.

JANUARY 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in loss Coquelin scored one goal on his only shot and made three tackles (one won) in 63 minutes of Saturday's 2-1 loss to Athletic Club.

Impact Coquelin had the benefit of a heavy deflection to take his shot past Unai Simon to score his first league goal since 2017/18. With three starts over his last four games, Coquelin is starting to make himself more reliable, though his value will remain limited unless he continues to stay active in the attack. Fortunately, he'll next face Cadiz, which are tied for the second-most goals conceded in La Liga.

Provides assist in win Coquelin provided an assist and made two tackles (won both) and two interceptions during Sunday's 2-0 win over Betis.

Impact Coquelin was back in the starting Xi after serving a one-match Champions League ban and did a decent job during the first half, assisting Arnaut Danjuma for the game opening goal and also provided some defensive help before being subbed off at halftime. The midfielder is yet to play the full 90 minutes this season and it's not guaranteed in the starting XI for Oct. 17 home match against Osasuna.

Impact Coquelin spent much of the last year dealing with injuries but is off to a healthy start this time around. Should he remain available and play regularly, it's likely that he'll get a few starts, even if his value isn't great as a defensive-midfielder.
