Impact Gueye took his usual spot as a defensive midfielder Saturday, marking his comeback from a short injury absence. Following a notable World Cup run with Senegal, Gueye looks set to feature as an all-around contributor with high passing numbers and occasional shooting upside for his club. His presence alongside Santi Comesana leaves Alassane Diatta in a backup role for now.

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.

Even so, he leaves the tournament with a commendable overall contribution, scoring twice and adding an assist across four appearances, starting every match while maintaining an 87 percent pass accuracy, giving Senegal a reliable midfield presence throughout their World Cup campaign.

Scores twice off bench in win Gueye scored two goals and assisted once from six shots and three chances created in Friday's 5-0 victory against Iraq. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 81st minute.

Impact Senegal needed to score lots of goals to improve their goal differential and boost their chances of qualifying as one of the best third-placed teams, and they did exactly that. Gueye was impressive off the bench after entering the game in the 58th minute and participated directly in three goals, including scoring twice with two long-range, unstoppable shots. If Senegal makes it into the Round of 32, Gueye could very well move back into the starting lineup after this impressive display.

JUNE 26 • ROTOWIRE

Unproductive versus Norway Gueye had two tackles (one won) and one clearance in Monday's 3-2 defeat against Norway.

Impact Gueye made a limited impact as he tried to stop an overwhelming opposition, playing alongside Idrissa Gueye in a two-man holding midfield. The 27-year-old has tallied two tackles, two interceptions and three clearances over two games and might retain limited value even in a convenient fixture against Iraq.

Box-to-box force for Lions Gueye has been named in Senegal's World Cup squad and is expected to start in midfield under coach Pape Thiaw, arriving at the tournament after an impressive season with Villarreal...

Impact Gueye contributed five goals and two assists alongside 24 key passes and 40 tackles across 30 La Liga appearances this season, delivering one of the most productive campaigns of his career and establishing himself as one of the more complete box-to-box midfielders in the Spanish top flight. His combination of defensive intensity, creative output and direct goal threat from midfield makes him a genuinely versatile and dangerous option in Thiaw's system, and his La Liga experience against competitive European opposition gives him the tactical preparation needed to perform at the highest level. For Senegal, Gueye provides the midfield with the energy, leadership and goal-scoring threat needed to complement the more defensively minded profiles around him, and his consistent output throughout the season makes him one of the key figures in what promises to be an exciting Lions campaign at the tournament this summer.

JUNE 10 • ROTOWIRE

Bags goal Gueye scored one goal on two shots in Sunday's 5-1 win over Atletico Madrid.

Impact Gueye ended a nearly three-month scoring drought Sunday in the season finale, as the midfielder scored in the 45th minute of the contest. He then ended the season with five goals and two assists in his 30 appearances (26 starts) this campaign. This does top his debut season despite fewer appearances, recording four goal contributions in 34 appearances last campaign.

MARCH 9 • ROTOWIRE

Scores goal in defeat Gueye scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 4-1 defeat versus Barcelona.

Impact Gueye dragged Villarreal back into the fight in the 49th minute, burying a close-range finish after a corner wasn't fully cleared to make it 2-1 and give the visitors real momentum coming out of halftime. That surge ultimately faded as Villarreal failed to cash in on their strong spell and were punished when Lamine Yamal struck again on the counter, but Gueye's goal stood out as the defining moment for the Yellow Submarine. The Senegalese midfielder was brilliant against the Blaugranas, matching two season highs with four tackles and three interceptions while scoring for the second straight game, underlining his red-hot form and growing impact in the final third.

Impact Gueye converted a spot kick in first-half stoppage time but was unable to complete the game due to the issue. He's now questionable for upcoming fixtures, with his status now becoming a major concern for Villarreal given that he has been heavily involved in a box-to-box role lately. In case the injury is serious, his place in the starting lineup could be taken by either Dani Parejo or Thomas Partey.

FEBRUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Two shots, two crosses Gueye registered two shots (zero on goal) and two chances created in Wednesday's 1-0 victory over Levante. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 72nd minute.

Called up for international duty Gueye has departed for AFCON with Senegal and is out for the time being.

Impact Gueye is leaving the club without a starter for a few weeks, as he will depart for AFCON with Senegal. He has only missed five starts all season when an option, so this is a major loss for the club. The club is dealing with some injuries, so the club will have to move some players around, with Manor Solomon an option for time, while Dani Parejo (groin) is the more likely option once fit.

Clears suspension Gueye is no longer suspended and is an option moving forward for the club.

Impact Gueye has served his suspension due to yellow cards accumulation in La Liga and is set to return in the next contest. The midfielder is a regular starter in the heart of the game for the yellow submarine and will likely claim back that role in Sunday's clash against Levante.
