Impact Comesana will look to resume his solid campaign, challenging Dani Parejo for a central midfield spot in the remaining league matches.

Impact Comesana picked up his fifth yellow card in La Liga play and will serve a one-match suspension for next Thursday's clash against Real Oviedo.

Impact A long ball into the box from Comesana ended up being an assist late in the game, as Nicolas Pepe took advantage of the pass to score an impressive goal in the 98th minute.

FEBRUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Clears ban Comesana is no longer suspended and is an option moving forward for the club.

Impact Comesana dragged Villarreal level about one minute after the break, sliding in at the back post to turn Ilias Akhomach's low cross into the bottom left corner for the equalizer. From midfield, he helped Villarreal take control of possession, although he contributed to no defensive stats as usual, often stepping into advanced positions as Villarreal chased a first Champions League win. His late runs into the box remained a recurring threat, forcing Copenhagen to defend deeper phases. Comesana remains the main figure in the midfield of Villarreal, although his decisive action on Wednesday couldn't help the team enough.

Returns to bench Comesana (groin) is on the bench for Saturday's clash with Athletic Club.

Impact Comesana passed his late fitness tests and is now back in the team for Saturday's clash with Athletic Club.

Impact Comesana left the previous game with a groin problem, and all signs point to him being a late decision. If he's unable to play, then Pape Gueye and Dani Parejo could operate in central midfield. Comesana has started in five of Villarreal's seven competitive matches this season between LaLiga and the Champions League, so he's a regular presence in the middle of the park for Marcelino.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Injured Tuesday Comesana came off with an apparent injury during Tuesday's clash with Sevilla.

Impact Comesana made it just 29 minutes before having to come off. It's a tough turn for the midfielder, who has played in each of the first seven matches in all competitions. He's been a key part of the center of the park, and now is seemingly set for a spell on the sideline. It's not clear how serious the issue is, but Comesana will have a short turn around before a Saturday clash with Athletic Club.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
