Trains Thursday Muriqi (thigh) was viewed training with a ball ahead of Saturday's match against Villarreal.

Impact Muriqi looks to possibly be an option for Saturday's contest, having been involved in training Thursday ahead of the match. If he does return against Villarreal, it would end a lengthy absence, as the forward has missed the club's past six games due to a thigh issue. The club would love to have the player back sooner rather than later, as he had started in the club's first 12 matches this year, being their top option to lead the attack. If he does make the team sheet Saturday, there is a chance he could get the starting nod, but the team may not want to rush him back into play, leaving Abdon Prats and Cyle Larin as the starting forwards once again.
