Yeremi Pino (21 years old) had to withdraw from Wednesday's training session due to a blow to his knee. At first it didn't seem like anything serious, but Villarreal has confirmed that the Canary has torn the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee and will have to undergo surgery.
Yeremi will miss the rest of the season and his place in the Spanish team for the Euro Cup that will take place next summer in Germany is in jeopardy.
Yeremi Pino has been an important asset since he arrived at the groguet group. This season he had been one of the references, both for Quique Setien, dismissed last September, and for Pacheta, also dismissed just a week ago. And without starting yet, Marcelino, Villarreal's new coach, saw how in his first training session in charge of the team he was left without what was intended to be an important piece of his scheme.
The Spanish international, who turned 21 just a month ago, has become a fundamental pillar for this Villarreal team despite his youth. He has already played 133 games in the ranks of the groguet team and has scored 18 goals. In addition, his performance has also made him international with the Spanish team, with which he has 12 games and 2 goals.
Despite missing the first few days and the preseason due to injury, when he has been fit, he has been a starter for both Setién and Pacheta.
Pino, a regular in the Spanish team, also loses almost all his chances of being able to play in this summer's Euro Cup with the senior team, with which he debuted just over two years ago.
In addition, the club from the city of Villareal has announced that its striker Alexander Sørloth suffered a hamstring injury in his right leg in the match against Atlético de Madrid last weekend.
