Rafa Marin - In squad for Barcelona match Marin (ankle) has been called up for Saturday's clash against Barcelona.

Impact Marin is currently expected to be on the bench as he returns from the issue that left him out of the previous game versus Valencia. He'll eventually compete for a spot with both Renato Veiga and Pau Navarro. However, Villarreal have struggled to keep clean sheets lately, so Marin may require plenty of minutes on the pitch to rack up meaningful defensive stats.

Gerard Moreno - Could return against Elche Moreno (undisclosed) is not available and could return for the game against Elche next Sunday, coach Marcelino Total said in the press conference, according to A Punt Esports. "May...

Impact Moreno is still dealing with a muscle injury and will not be available for Saturday's showdown against Barcelona. The striker could get back into team training next week, putting him in line to return against Elche next Sunday if everything stays on track. Until that happens, Nicolas Pepe and Ayoze Perez are expected to take on bigger roles and log heavier minutes up top.

Logan Costa - Returns to group training Costa (knee) was spotted training with the group Thursday, according to Javier Mata of Diario AS.

Impact Seeing Costa back with the group is undoubtedly positive for Villarreal, but the center-back still has to clear several hurdles before being deemed ready to play. He has a chance to return to action before the end of the 2025/26 season if he continues to progress well in his recovery.

Gerard Moreno - Trains individually with ball Moreno (undisclosed) was spotted training individually with the ball Wednesday, according to A Punt Esports.

Impact Moreno picked up a muscle injury during the pregame warmup against Espanyol and has been sidelined for the last three matches. The Yellow Submarine captain was back on the grass Wednesday, going through individual drills and getting touches on the ball, a strong sign he's trending toward a return to team training sooner rather than later. Still, the club won't rush him back given his injury history in recent seasons, which should keep Nicolas Pepe and Ayoze Perez in line for extended minutes until Moreno is fully up to speed.

Santi Comesana - Solid in win Comesana scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-1 victory against Valencia.

Impact Comesana had a solid performance Sunday, scoring once while getting one key pass and a shot on target. This was his first goal since Nov 1, giving him three goals with two assists on the season. He has also collected six starts in the last nine La Liga appearances, collecting six tackles won and seven interceptions in that span.

Pape Gueye - Scores, leaves with injury in win Gueye scored a goal before being forced to exit Sunday's 2-1 win over Valencia due to a discomfort, about which coach Marcelino Garcia said "Pape's injury was a minor setback in th...

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

Dani Parejo - Picked for bench Parejo (undisclosed) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Valencia.

Impact Parejo was a late call for Sunday but has passed his testing, with the midfielder fit enough for a bench role. He will likely see time to test his legs before earning a start soon, seeing normal rotation in and out of a starting role.

FEBRUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Rafa Marin - Doesn't make call Marin (ankle) is out for Sunday's match against Valencia.

Impact Marin is not with his club Sunday after some testing Saturday, not deemed fit enough to give his ankle a go. He will likely return next match after the close call Sunday, facing Barcelona on Feb. 28.

FEBRUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Alfonso Gonzales - Makes bench Alfon (calf) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Valencia.

Impact Alfon is back and ready to play Sunday, with the forward recovering after training with his team this week. He finally ends a close to two-month absence and will have to build up some fitness, typically more of a depth option either way.

Impact Marin picked up the injury against Levante and asked to be subbed out, but the defender might recover quickly enough to be an option here. A late call on his availability will be made following the team's final training session Saturday.

Gerard Moreno - Won't play Sunday Moreno (undisclosed) won't be an option for Sunday's game against Valencia, manager Marcelino Garcia Toral told media during Friday's press conference. "Moreno is out for this matc...

Impact This isn't much of a surprise, as Moreno didn't train throughout the week while nursing an undisclosed injury. Fitness issues have limited him considerably this season, but he's been excellent when available. Moreno has seven goals in 12 appearances this term.

Dani Parejo - Status to be determined Parejo (undisclosed) could be an option for Sunday's clash against Valencia, manager Marcelino Garcia Toral told media during Friday's press conference. "Friday was the first day h...

Impact Parejo didn't play in Villarreal's previous game due to a muscular issue, but his return to training Friday is certainly a positive sign. A final call on his status will be made Saturday, but it seems he's trending in the right direction.

FEBRUARY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Gerard Moreno - Still not training Moreno (undisclosed) was still not training Friday and is unlikely for Sunday's clash against Valencia, according to Apuntesports.

Impact Moreno picked up a knock during the pregame warmup against Espanyol and was still held out of training Friday, leaving his chances of suiting up against Valencia on Sunday hanging by a thread. The captain has been a locked-in starter whenever he is fit for Villarreal, so his potential absence would once again shake up the starting XI. Nicolas Pepe and Ayoze Perez are the top candidates to take on expanded roles in the attack while Moreno works his way back.

FEBRUARY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Rafa Marin - Unlikely against Valencia Marin (knee) wasn't spotted in team training Friday and is unlikely for Sunday's clash against Valencia, according to Apuntesports.

Impact Marin picked up a knee injury against Levante last time out and was still sidelined from training on Friday, making his chances of featuring against Valencia on Sunday slim at best. The center-back has yet to ramp up his workload, and unless he makes a late push, he is trending toward missing this one. If he cannot go, Renato Veiga is in line to slot alongside Pau Navarro in central defense while Marin works his way back.
