With the presence of Pervis Estupiñán, who has lost prominence in LaLiga, Villarreal is playing its future in the Copa del Rey facing Girona. The match started at 3:00 PM this Tuesday.
Apart from the injury he suffered in October 2020 during his participation with the Ecuadorian national team in the second round of the South American qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup, Estupiñán has not had regularity in terms of minutes since the thirteenth round of the Spanish championship, spending more time on the bench.
In the Copa del Rey, on the other hand, he has played two matches (180 minutes) and this Tuesday he is playing his third consecutive one as a starter in the team led by Unai Emery.
The Spanish Alfonso Pedraza, the new owner of the left-back, rests on the bench.
Villarreal started at the Municipal de Montilivi stadium with this lineup: Rulli, Pau, Funes Mori, Tigreros (c), Estupiñán, Coquelin, Peña, Capoue, Yeremy, Baena, Fer Niño. (D)
