Athletic Bilbao footballer Ander Herrera set alarm bells ringing at Lezama. The midfielder left the field against Barcelona after "suffering a slight injury to the semitendinosus muscle in his right thigh."
Despite getting injured and having to go off, the player on loan from PSG returned to training last Friday with the rest of the group. Only the injured Dani Garcia missed the session.
The match at the Camp Nou was Herrera's second consecutive start since returning to Athletic Bilbao. The only player who is definitely out for the Villarreal clash is Dani Garcia.
It is not the first time Herrera suffers thig problems given that he has had 21 injuries in that part of the body throughout his career.
