Marcelino, with everyone but with doubts

He Villarreal This Thursday he finished his penultimate training session before the match against Real Mallorca in a session where the coach recovered almost all of his troops, but where he still had many doubts about the eleven he would line up against the Balearic team.

So, the Asturian coach can count on all his international players for the first time, since Thursday, the Cape Verdean defender Logan Costa and the Franco-Senegalese midfielder Pape Gueye return to the dynamic group.

During the week Ayoze Pérez, Yeremy Pino and the Moroccan Ilias Akomach also joined, while in the injured section, the coach recovered players such as the Ivorians Eric Bailly and Nicolás Pépé, as well as Alex Baena.

The players absent due to physical problems in this last session are Gerard Moreno, Juan Foyth and Willy Kambwala. The injured Alfonso Pedraza and Denis Suárez, as well as the suspended Pape Gueye, have been ruled out for the match against Mallorca.

In all this, Marcelino faced the match between Mallorca with significant doubts, both in defense, in midfield and in attack. Willy Kambwala’s physical discomfort and Logan Costa’s few work sessions leave Raúl Albiol and Bailly as the more obvious options for the center of defense.

In the middle of the field, the doubt is whether Álex Baena, who returned from vacation this week, will be ready to play or not, although everything indicates that he will wait after being out of work for almost two weeks, so the options will go through Yeremy Pino and Ilias Akomach on the wings.

Furthermore, in the attack line, in the absence of Gerard Moreno and some training sessions of Nicolás Pépé, a forward with Ayoze and Barry would be more feasible, repeating the Mestalla attack pairing.
