Dani Parejo could face Valencia on return to Mestalla with fitness to be assessed | OneFootball

Dani Parejo could face Valencia at Mestalla on Sunday, fitness permitting. The Villarreal midfielder’s potential comeback would carry clear emotional weight.

According to Superdeporte, he is managing physical discomfort and is not fully fit, though he has not been ruled out. The coaching staff will decide in the coming hours whether he can play.

Those issues kept him out of the last league match against Levante. Before that, he started nine of Villarreal’s previous 10 LaLiga games, underlining his influence at 35.

A hero at Valencia, Parejo became the side’s on-field reference with his passing vision, set-piece precision and competitive edge. He left in 2020 for Villarreal, where he has remained integral.

If cleared, Sunday would bring another meeting with the club where he matured and earned lasting acclaim from the Mestalla crowd. The stage promises intensity, both for the occasion and the level required.
