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.

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.
