Bruno a doubt for new year

Bruno Soriano is an early doubt to make Villarreal’s first fixture of the new year, after having a thigh strain confirmed today.

The in-form midfielder was forced off at half-time of his side’s eventual 2-1 defeat at home to Sevilla on Saturday having picked up the issue in the back of his left leg.

The Yellow Submarine have today confirmed that tests show serious injury is ruled out, but that there is a degree I strain in a small muscle at the back of the thigh.

Whilst it is seen that the player can return to training after the holiday period, his availability for Villarreal’s Week 18 trip to Rayo on January 6 is still believed to be in doubt.
