Finds First Assist
Veiga assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Monday's 2-1 defeat to Betis. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 84th minute.
Analysis: Veiga got on the scoresheet for the first time this season with an assist while also delivering a strong defensive performance, recording four blocked shots, one tackle won, and one interception. He has played the full 90 minutes in all five appearances to begin the campaign, producing solid individual displays despite a back line that has conceded 10 goals during that stretch.
Rejoins training for preseason
Veiga has rejoined Villarreal's training group for preseason following his run with Portugal at the World Cup, the club announced.
Analysis: Veiga started all five of Portugal's matches at the tournament, showing himself to be a solid and reliable defender throughout the run. His performances there carry over into expectations for the new season, where he's expected to slot in as a regular starter in central defense for Villarreal. Veiga is expected to build toward full training as preseason continues.
