Gerard Moreno misses out against Galatasaray and raises alarms at Villarreal
The absence of Gerard Moreno in the friendly against Galatasaray left a note of concern in the final stretch of Villarreal's pre-season. The forward was left out of the squad and, for now, the club has not offered an official explanation for the reasons.

With the league opener a week away, Gerard Moreno's status is now under observation. The Villarreal have the debut of next Sunday pencilled in against the Racing Santander, a match that arrives with little room to deal with any physical or planning setback.
The Castellon club has not said whether the attacker is missing due to niggles, a personal matter, or a technical decision within the minutes allocation planned for the friendly. Nor is there, for the time being, official information pointing to a muscular injury or any other specific physical issue.
This silence keeps uncertainty wide open. Gerard Moreno had been present in every friendly played by the team up to this Saturday, a detail that makes his absence against Galatasaray even more striking in the closing stages of the build-up.

DLThe situation is being monitored with particular attention given the forward's recent track record, who has suffered various physical problems in recent seasons. His availability has been a key factor at different times for the yellow side, although in this case there is no medical confirmation that would allow talk of a layoff.
Iigo Perez had been able to count on Gerard during the pre-season up to this Saturday's match. The player's progress over the coming days will determine whether his absence is just a one-off measure or whether it affects Villarreal's plans for the official start of the campaign.
