Pape Gueye has returned to his club, Villarreal, after sustaining an injury during Senegal’s recent international fixture.
The midfielder, who was forced off at halftime in the match against Sudan, has now begun his recovery process in Spain.
Early departure from Senegal camp
The 26-year-old was part of Senegal’s squad for the March international window but had his time with the national team cut short due to physical discomfort.
Gueye started in Senegal’s match against Sudan last Saturday but was unable to continue beyond the first half, prompting his substitution as a precautionary measure.
Following his early exit from international duty, the Villarreal midfielder returned to Spain, where he immediately began rehabilitation under the club’s medical staff.
Individual recovery program underway
Upon his arrival at Villarreal, Gueye did not take part in the team’s collective training session.
Instead, he focused on individual exercises in the gym, closely monitored by the club’s medical team.
Reports indicate that he is dealing with a sprained ankle, and his recovery timeline will depend on his progress in the coming days.
While he remains unavailable for immediate selection, there is hope that he could be fit in time for Villarreal’s upcoming La Liga match against Getafe on Sunday, March 30.
However, his participation remains uncertain, with his availability depending on the speed of his recovery.
Villarreal will continue to assess Gueye’s condition, ensuring he returns to full fitness before making his return to action.
