Thomas Partey Injury: Could be option Saturday

Partey (undisclosed) wasn't mentioned as a potential absentee by manager Marcelino in Friday's pre-match press conference and is expected to be available for Saturday's game against Real Mallorca.

Partey didn't play for Ghana during the November international break, though it was unclear whether it was due to injury or rest. The midfielder has been a steady presence in the middle of the park for Villarreal.
