Why Juan Foyth is missing for Villarreal vs Espanyol

Juan Foyth is a late withdrawal for Villarreal ahead of the clash with RCD Espanyol. The Argentine defender will not be available for the match, an absence that had not been expected going into the game.

The situation has raised eyebrows because, during the press conference before the match, no physical issue or setback related to the player had come to light. There were also no signs suggesting the central defender could miss out.

For now, the specific reasons are not known for why Foyth has been left out of the squad. It remains to be seen whether it is due to niggles, a last-minute physical problem, or another circumstance.
