Gueye (undisclosed) missed Wednesday's friendly against Levante due to an injury picked up in training Tuesday, the club announced.
Analysis:Gueye's absence was described as a precautionary measure, with the coaching staff opting not to take any risks during a busy preseason stretch, and the issue currently appears to be minor. The midfielder's defensive intensity and ball-winning ability make him an important piece of Villarreal's engine room, and he is expected to line up alongside Santi Comesana as a regular starter in central midfield this season. Villarreal will continue monitoring his progress before determining his return to the squad.
