Villarreal footballer Gerard Moreno did not train with the rest of his teammates on Thursday and alarm bells are sounding at Villarreal ahead of the match with Barcelona. The Catalan striker did individual work in the gym.
Villarreal have not beaten Barcelona at home for 12 seasons. The Yellow Submarine want to put that winless run to an end this weekend. However, they woke up to bad news on Thursday.
According to 'Marca', Gerard Moreno did not train together with the rest of his teammates and he could be ruled out of the clash with Barca. The 30 year-old did individual training in the gym.
If it is confirmed that Villarreal's number 7 will be unavailable for Sunday's game, Quique Setien will have a serious problem in attack. They are without Nico Jackson due to injury while Danjuma was sold in January. That means Villarreal are short of options up top.
The previously cited newspaper added that Friday's training session will be key to determining whether Moreno will take any part in the crucial league match.
