Impact Neither Gulacsi nor his family members sustained injuries, but the goalkeeper is clearly not focused to play given the traumatic situation he lived. This means Luiz Junior is expected to get the nod between the posts Tuesday, while Gulacsi could be an option to face Elche on Saturday.

Impact Pepe missed Saturday's clash against Real Madrid after undergoing eye surgery and remains unavailable ahead of Tuesday's Champions League meeting with Napoli. Although the initial medical outlook is encouraging, the winger has no confirmed return date, with his recovery depending on how he responds following the procedure. The Ivorian has recorded two goals, 14 shots and 17 crosses across six LaLiga appearances, including five starts, this season. Ilias Akhomach could continue to see increased playing time on the right flank during Pepe's absence.

Impact Buchanan has received a more precise diagnosis after suffering an injury during Canada's clash against Peru, confirming damage to his right hamstring. The winger has already been ruled out for Saturday's La Liga clash against Real Madrid, and the club has yet to establish a timeline for his return. Buchanan has been an important part of Villarreal's attacking rotation this season, recording 11 shots, eight chances created and 24 crosses across seven La Liga appearances, although he has yet to register a goal or assist. His absence could open up additional opportunities for Nicolas Pepe on the right wing, with Buchanan's availability for upcoming fixtures depending on his recovery.

Santi Comesana - Fully fit for Real Madrid clash Comesana (ankle) has trained fully throughout the week without any setbacks and is fit for Saturday's La Liga clash against Real Madrid, according to Javi Mata of Diario AS.

Impact Comesana has put his recent ankle issue behind him after missing team training last week, with his participation in every session this week confirming his readiness for Saturday's trip to Madrid. The midfielder should now be in contention to retain his starting role alongside Pape Gueye, providing Villarreal with a welcome boost in the middle of the park. Nathan Saliba remains an alternative in midfield, though Comesana's return to full fitness should improve his chances of featuring in the starting XI.

Impact Buchanan will miss Saturday's trip to Madrid after picking up a lower-body injury following a tackle during Canada's clash against Peru, which forced him to withdraw from international duty.

With the severity of the injury and his recovery timeline still unclear, Villarreal will have to adjust their attacking options until Buchanan is cleared to return.
