Mathew Ryan - Back with club after World Cup Ryan has returned to training with Levante following his World Cup campaign with Australia, the club posted.
Impact Ryan returned from the World Cup with Australia, where he was not the starting goalkeeper and made only a brief appearance against Egypt before the penalty shootout defeat that ended the Socceroos' run. He now returns to Levante, where he is expected to remain first choice after signing for another season following an impressive campaign last year in which he helped the club survive relegation, keeping nine clean sheets and making 125 saves while conceding 56 goals across 36 appearances.

Pape Gueye - Missed Levante friendly with injury Gueye (undisclosed) missed Wednesday's friendly against Levante due to an injury picked up in training Tuesday, the club announced.
Impact Gueye's absence was described as a precautionary measure, with the coaching staff opting not to take any risks during a busy preseason stretch, and the issue currently appears to be minor. The midfielder's defensive intensity and ball-winning ability make him an important piece of Villarreal's engine room, and he is expected to line up alongside Santi Comesana as a regular starter in central midfield this season. Villarreal will continue monitoring his progress before determining his return to the squad.

Juan Foyth - Starts, plays 45 minutes Foyth (Achilles) started and played 45 minutes in Villarreal's preseason friendly against Levante, the club announced.
Impact Foyth had continued working on his recovery plan without seeing any minutes in friendly action, making this his first appearance since returning to training after a lengthy layoff from his Achilles injury, with Pau Navarro having seen increased playing time alongside Renato Veiga in central defense during his absence. His involvement marks a clear step forward in his buildup, and Foyth is expected to continue building up his match fitness as preseason progresses.
