Tajon Buchanan takes an important step toward his return after overcoming two weeks out due to muscle problems. The Canadian is already working with his teammates and keeps his options open for a place in the squad for Anfield, while Nicolas Pépé remains absent.

MDThe Villarreal face the final stretch of their preparations for this Tuesday's match against Liverpool with updates in their squad. Monday's session left two different situations in attack: the return of Tajon Buchanan to full training and the continued absence of Nicolas Pépé from the group.
The Castellon-based side will play at Anfield in the third matchday of the UEFA Champions League, an appointment for which there are still doubts about the availability of the Canadian international.
Buchanan has returned to train normally with the rest of the players after being out for approximately two weeks with a muscle injury. His reintroduction is a step forward in his recovery process, although it still does not guarantee his inclusion in the squad to face the English team.
The coaching staff will need to check how he responds physically after his period of inactivity. With the European fixture drawing near, they must assess whether he is ready to return to the squad or if he needs to accumulate more training sessions before returning to competition.
The decision on his availability will be known in the coming hours, when the Villarreal finish defining the players they will have at their disposal for the match.

DLBy contrast, Nicolas Pépé is still not training with his teammates. The forward has been away from the group dynamic for close to two weeks after undergoing a surgical procedure on his eye.
No updates have been provided on a possible return date for the player, who continues to miss the preparations for the game against Liverpool.
