Silva does not train with the group and is almost ruled out

David Silva is practically ruled out to play against Villarreal in the great game of this league day. The Canarian midfielder in the end could not test with the group, has not trained with the rest of his teammates at the Reale Arena and he has exercised alone at the Zubieta facilities. This means that it is very difficult to play this day, he will not risk his recovery, so it does not seem very feasible that it will be, at least, on a list of summoned that is not yet known, because Imanol Alguacil has not offered a call. It will be made public when the starting eleven that will play against Villarreal one hour before the clash is announced.

Silva he was injured in the final stretch of the match against Cádiz, suffering a small muscle puncture that led to a grade I fiber tear in the biceps femoris of his left muscle. He was unable to travel to Holland and stayed in San Sebastián recovering on his own hoping to get to the game against Villarreal. But the feelings are not as positive as expected and the fact that he did not work with the group on the eve of the match against the ‘yellow submarine’ makes you think you have not recovered in time.

Who has trained with the group is Andoni Gorosabel, who has worked with everyone at Anoeta, overcome his ankle injury that was done against AZ Alkmaar. The right-back could even be the game to rest Joseba Zaldua, who would otherwise play his third entire game in just seven days. The surprise of the session prior to the clash against Villarreal has been the presence with the group of captain Asier Illarramendi, which after his last relapse is again ready to take the final step to return to the pitch. You may have options to be on the squad list.
