Villarreal worry for Cazorla

Santi Cazorla is a doubt for Villarreal CF's crucial UEFA Europa League encounter with S.S. Lazio on 5 November with the midfielder suffering from a herniated disc. Cazorla missed Villarreal's weekend Liga win over Málaga CF and the club's chief medical officer Juan Albors commented: "We can't put a prognosis on when he will return, but we hope it won't be too long." Villarreal's 2-1 defeat against Lazio on 22 October left them team three points behind their Italian rivals and six adrift of Group G leaders FC Salzburg.
