On September 26, according to the latest reports from Spanish media outlet Marca, Villarreal forward Yeremi Pino will be absent for several days due to a muscle injury and will miss the away game against Espanyol.
In the previous round, during Villarreal’s home match against Barcelona, Pino caused an indirect severe injury to the opposing goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen during a header challenge. It is reported that this Barcelona goalkeeper suffered a rupture of the patellar tendon in his right knee, ending his season.
After the game, Pino also expressed that he did not intend to cause such a result, even crying on the field for five minutes during the match.
Villarreal’s head coach Marcelino confirmed that this 21-year-old Spanish international injured himself during training on Tuesday of this week. The specific situation of his absence will be assessed later, but it is certain that he will not participate in the match against Espanyol.
Pino has been well-known since he was only 17 years old this season. In the 2020/21 season, he scored seven goals and provided one assist in a season where he only started 12 times. This season, after securing his place as a regular starter for Villarreal, he has provided one assist in four starts. Currently, the player’s market value on Transfermarkt is 30 million euros.
