Villarreal B stretched by international call-ups for leaders Sabadell visit | OneFootball

Villarreal B will be short-handed for leaders Sabadell’s visit to the Mini Estadi at 16:00, with the so‑called FIFA virus and injuries leaving seven players unavailable.

According to El Periódico Mediterráneo, coach David Albelda will be without five internationals and two injured players for a demanding test. César Bonafé returns after a one‑match suspension.

The call‑ups affect Hugo López and Joselillo Gaitán with Spain under-18s, Carlos Maciá with Spain, Jean Yves Valou with Ivory Coast under-23s, and Ayman Arguigue with Morocco under-23s.

Meanwhile, forward Facundo Viveros and right winger Sebas Salazar remain sidelined through injury.

Sabadell arrive as leaders, three points clear of nearest chasers Atlético Madrileño. A large arlequinados following is expected, with Villarreal allocating 475 tickets for away fans.
