Vilarreal CF will not be able to count on the midfielder Vicente Iborra the rest of the season, when confirming that he suffers a torn anterior cruciate ligament in your left knee. An injury that forces you to go under the knife next Thursday, and that leaves him out of the team for a minimum of six months after an operation that Doctor Cugat will perform.
The loss is a stick for the yellow team, which had in the Valencian midfielder one of the key pieces of the team for this season. A fixed for Emery, being the key player in the team's gear, as evidenced by his ownership since the team was defeated in Barcelona.
With the loss of Iborra Villarreal's plans must change, since initially the idea of the club was not to reinforce the winter market, something that is now on the table. The team need a defensive pivot, more seeing the problems that Francis Coquelin accumulates with injuries, which leaves that position very short of troops.
The team's options would go through giving entry to a player who returns to the team such as the Argentine Santi Cáseres, but their non-EU status would force one of the players occupying those places to exit (Take Kubo, Carlos Bacca and Funes Mori), something that seems complicated. If not, the club should seek an assignment in the market that can balance the absence of Iborra, something that also depends on the economic balance and financial “fair play”. The rumors of a possible exit of Take Kubo of the club in this market for not having enough minutes, they would solve both problems if they were given the same.
