Unlikely against Dortmund Foyth (undisclosed) was not training Monday and will likely miss Tuesday's Champions League opener against Dortmund, according to A Punt Esport.

Impact Foyth had already been ruled out of the recent match against Deportivo La Coruna, with coach Inigo Perez saying that he shouldn't be out for a long time as he knows his body well. This continued absence extends his layoff further, adding to a recurring pattern of fitness issues for the defender, with Pau Navarro figuring to continue alongside Renato Veiga in central defense until Foyth returns to full speed.

Ruled out against Depor Foyth (undisclosed) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Deportivo La Coruna, according to coach Inigo Perez. "He won't be available, but he shouldn't be out for a long time,...

Impact Foyth had left an earlier training session early with muscular discomfort, a scare that led to medical tests to determine the extent of the issue. His injury history has been a recurring concern in recent seasons, including an Achilles rupture that ended a previous campaign early, and this latest setback continues that pattern for a player who has struggled to stay consistently available. Pau Navarro figures to step into the back line alongside Renato Veiga in his place until he returns to full speed.

Impact Foyth completed only part of Tuesday's session before being forced to stop with muscular discomfort, with the Villarreal defender now set to undergo tests to establish whether he has sustained an injury. He has not been ruled out for Saturday against Deportivo, but his availability cannot be clarified until the scan results are known and his response during the remainder of the week is assessed. Should the tests confirm a problem that keeps him out, Pau Navarro would be in line to step into the back line alongside Renato Veiga.

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.

Progressing towards return Foyth (Achilles) has continued to work on his recovery plan and is hopeful to be in contention for the new season, but the club has yet to specify when he'll make his competitive c...

Impact Foyth has trained with the team during the offseason, but the fact that he hasn't seen any minutes even in friendly action after a lengthy period on the sidelines makes it difficult for him to be heavily involved in the early stages of the 2026/27 period. The team will continue to handle the defender's return with caution and likely won't rush him into the starting lineup until he's in optimal shape. Meanwhile, Pau Navarro should see increased playing time alongside Renato Veiga in the middle of the back line.

AUGUST 2 • ROTOWIRE

Trains at full intensity Foyth (Achilles) is training at full intensity during preseason without issue and is available for the new 2026/27 LaLiga season under new coach Inigo Perez, the club posted.

Impact Foyth had been sidelined since January with an Achilles injury that also cost him a spot at the World Cup with Argentina, and his return to full intensity training is an encouraging sign heading into the new 2026/27 La Liga campaign. If he stays healthy through the remainder of preseason, he should be well positioned to compete for a starting role on the right side of Villarreal's defense.

Back in training Foyth (Achilles) participated in full training Thursday and should be an option for Villarreal during the pre-season friendlies ahead of the start of the 2026/27 season in August,...

Impact Foyth suffered an Achilles injury in January, and while the injury prevented him from representing Argentina in the World Cup, it seems he'll be ready to play in preseason and, most importantly, the new LaLiga season. If Foyth stays healthy in preseason, he should compete for a starting role on the right side of Villarreal's defensive line.

Injured Argentina defender Juan Foyth set to miss World Cup

Ruptured Achilles confirmed Foyth has been confirmed to have suffered a rupture of his Achilles and is out for the remainder of the season, according to his club.

Impact Foyth is ending his season quite early and leaving the club without their captain, as the central defender has ruptured his Achilles after he was forced off early in Saturday's loss. This is a major loss for the club, after already missing him numerous times this season due to injury, as he is a regular starter in the defense. Rafa Marin will now see an increase in time and serve alongside Renate Veiga, with Foyth eyeing a return to begin the next campaign after a lengthy recovery.

Achilles rupture expected Foyth was forced off in the 24th minute of Saturday's 2-0 defeat against Real Madrid due to an expected Achilles rupture, according to physiotherapist Angel Villanueva.

Impact Foyth could be set to miss several months and the World Cup with Argentina after suffering what appears to be an Achilles rupture in Saturday's loss against Real Madrid. The center-back will be assessed in the coming days to determine the extent of the injury and establish his recovery timeline, but if the serious issue is confirmed, it would be a blow for Villarreal and Argentina, since he is a regular starter for both teams. Rafa Marin is set for a greater role in central defense for Villarreal until he returns.

Impact Foyth needs a bit more time to recover from his injury but has shown positive progress toward his return after training partially with the team on Monday.

Unlikely to play vs. Betis Foyth (undisclosed) is not ruled out for Saturday's game against Real Betis, but he's unlikely to be available, manager Marcelino told media Friday.

Impact Foyth returned to training earlier this week, and while Marcelino hasn't ruled him out of the game, he acknowledged that his chances of playing aren't very high. This means Villarreal will be thin on defensive depth against Betis, as they'll also be without Santiago Mourino (suspension).

Real Madrid aims to rebound from derby demolition against in-form Villarreal

Real Madrid needs to bounce back from its thrashing in last weekend’s Spanish capital derby when it hosts a red-hot Villarreal on Saturday in La Liga

OCTOBER 2, 2025 • Associated Press

Exits with injury Saturday Foyth departed Saturday's 2-1 win over Osasuna with an apparent muscular injury and is expected to miss time, Javi Mata of Diario AS reports.

Impact Foyth left the game limping in the second half, and manager Marcelino confirmed that he's going to miss at least a few matches due to what appears to be a muscular tear. He should be out for the time being, and with Pau Navarro out due to international duty in the U20 World Cup, it means Renato Veiga should see more time at center-back.

Three shots versus former club Foyth generated three shots (zero on goal) in Tuesday's 1-0 defeat against Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Foyth started off this Champions League campaign versus his former club, a side he made six UCL appearances for. He got off three shots on the attack -- he only has one across four La Liga matches -- but put none on target. He was strong on the defensive side too, making seven clearances, intercepting one pass and blocking one shot in his full 90 minutes of action.

Inks extension with Villarreal Foyth has signed a contract extension with Villarreal until 2029, the club announced.

Impact Foyth has played 135 official matches for Villarreal, scoring five goals and providing six assists. He joined the club in 2020 from Tottenham, initially on loan, and helped win the 2020/21 Europa League before the club triggered his purchase option in 2021. He also played a key role in Villarreal's run to the 2021/22 Champions League semifinals, eliminating Juventus and Bayern Munich. Foyth is an undisputed starter in the backline and will likely find a more central role in the defense in 2025/26 just like the second half of the 2024/25 season.

He is expected to remain a key player in the backline heading into the 2025/26 season.
