Provides assist in win Iborra provided one assist from one chance created and conceded a yellow card during Monday's 5-0 win over Levante.

Impact Iborra has started in two of the last four matches after only making four appearances (two starts) in the first 21 matches of the season. This should be a good sign that he's returning to full form and a place in the lineup after tearing his ACL halfway through last season. As a result, a competition for minutes could certainly be under way with just two spots available in the current formation selected by manager Unai Emery. Up next is a visit from Atletico Madrid, which are tied for the third-most goals scored in La Liga.

Extends contract to 2024 Iborra (torn ACL) signed a one-year contract extension with Villarreal that extends his stay until 2024, it was announced Wednesday.

Impact Iborra was likely handed the extension in order to get an extra season back after tearing his ACL, so this may be a good sign of how his recovery is going. Once he's back, look for him to fill out further depth as a defensive midfielder.
