Villarreal
La Liga
Starts, plays 45 minutes
Foyth (Achilles) started and played 45 minutes in Villarreal's preseason friendly against Levante, the club announced.
ANALYSIS
Foyth had continued working on his recovery plan without seeing any minutes in friendly action, making this his first appearance since returning to training after a lengthy layoff from his Achilles injury, with Pau Navarro having seen increased playing time alongside Renato Veiga in central defense during his absence. His involvement marks a clear step forward in his buildup, and Foyth is expected to continue building up his match fitness as preseason progresses.
