Eric Bailly returns from injury as Bertrand Traoré remains absent from Villarreal training
Villarreal received a boost with the return of Eric Bailly from injury, offering a glimmer of hope to coach Marcelino ahead of their upcoming fixtures. However, the absence of Bertrand Traoré from training serves as a reminder of the challenges the club continues to face on the injury front.
Eric Bailly, the Ivorian defender, marked his return to training this Thursday, May 2, after being sidelined for a month and a half due to a muscle injury.
Bailly’s presence on the training ground was met with optimism, signaling a positive step forward in his recovery journey.
His return not only bolsters Villarreal’s defensive options but also uplifts team morale as they prepare for the challenges ahead.
Despite his return to training, Bailly’s availability for Villarreal’s upcoming fixture against Celta Vigo on Sunday, May 5, remains uncertain.
The coaching staff will closely monitor his progress before making a decision on his inclusion in the matchday squad.
Nonetheless, Bailly’s resurgence provides a ray of hope for Villarreal as they seek to maintain their momentum in La Liga.
However, the news isn’t as promising for Bertrand Traoré, the Burkinabé forward, who continues to be sidelined due to injury.
Traoré, along with two other teammates, remains in the recovery phase, absent from training sessions as they work towards full fitness.
The absence of Traoré serves as a setback for Villarreal, depriving them of his attacking prowess and contribution on the field.
As Villarreal navigates through a crucial phase of the season, the return of Eric Bailly offers a timely boost, injecting renewed optimism into the squad.
With their sights set on achieving their objectives, Villarreal will rely on the resilience and depth of their squad to overcome challenges and emerge stronger in the matches to come.
