Liverpool’s opponent in the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League, Villarreal, has a number of fears of injuries before Tuesday’s rematch.
The Reds are heading to Spain with a 2-0 lead and are considered favorites to advance to the final, where they will meet the winners of Real Madrid against Man City.
Villarreal knocked out Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals and will take part in the match as they strive to make a big comeback. But they may have to do it without a number of key players. In training on Monday morning, six players missed, some due to long-term problems and others unexplained due to their absence.

The talented winger Arnaut Danjuma missed training on Monday and is highly skeptical of playing against Jurgen Klopp’s team after missing Saturday’s defeat by Alaves. “Danjuma also had some discomfort. He did not train with the group today, and tomorrow morning we will see if he is able to play. “
The Yellow Submarines were without Gerard Moreno in the first game of Anfield, and Raul Albiol and Francis Coclen took the blows last week. All three trained before the rematch and are expected to give Emery a boost in the gym, starting on Tuesday night, although Moreno missed several games recently due to a recurrent hamstring injury.
Villarreal will also be without teenager Jeremy Pino. Pino was another absentee from training, as Emery confirmed: “Yermi, it’s true that he has an injury that will make him miss.”
Former Reds defender Alberto Moreno will not face his old teammates as he recovers from a knee injury.
