Not playing in UCL opener

Romero (undisclosed) won't be an option for Tuesday's game against Dortmund, according to manager Inigo Perez. "Juan [Foyth] and Carlos [Romero] didn't travel with us; they're not available for tomorrow."

Analysis: Romero was a late scratch from Villarreal's starting XI for Saturday's match against Deportivo due to discomfort that appeared in the hours before kickoff, and he didn't train Monday, so it's not surprising to see him sidelined for the UCL opener. Sergi Cardona is expected to remain the starter on the left side of the defense.

Doubtful against Dortmund

Romero (undisclosed) was a late scratch from Villarreal's starting XI for Saturday's match against Deportivo due to discomfort that appeared in the hours before kickoff and he is a doubt for Tuesday's Champions League opener against Dortmund as he wasn't spotted in team training on Monday, according to A Punt Esports.

Analysis: Romero's big move to Villarreal this summer has yet to bring the same production he showed at Espanyol, where he tallied six goals and three assists last season, though he had offered glimpses of attacking output with two shots and two chances created across his first three games. His absence adds to the one of Juan Foyth (undisclosed), already ruled out with a separate physical issue, as coach Inigo Perez makes several changes in search of the club's first league win of the season.
