Injury Groin
Est. Return 2/15/2026
Ruled out with groin issues
Partey is ruled out for the time being due to groin issues, coach Marcelino Total said in the press conference. "Thomas was dealing with some groin discomfort and asked for the substitution in the last game. Thomas is out and it is not yet possible to predict for how long."
ANALYSIS
Partey was forced off at halftime during Wednesday's loss against Leverkusen in the Champions League due to groin discomfort and is now ruled out for the time being as he recovers from the issue. The midfielder has been a rotational option in midfield for Villarreal this season, starting half of his games in La Liga and four of his five appearances in the Champions League, therefore his absence will benefit other midfielders, with Dani Parejo, Santi Comesana and Pape Gueye expected to share the midfield duties during his absence.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Barcelona showing interest
Barcelona are interested in signing Partey in the summer, according to The Sun.
ANALYSIS
Barcelona could use another defensive midfielder to bolster their depth, and adding a player like Partey, who has tons of experience at the highest level, would be a huge victory for Los Blaugranas, especially if they sign him as a free agent. Partey spent the 2024/25 at Arsenal but has experience playing in LaLiga due to his previous stint with Atletico Madrid.
