Villarreal’s Chukwueze still missing but Dia makes La Liga debut against Granada

The Yellow Submarine have handed the Senegal striker his Spanish topflight bow but will be without their Nigerian star

Samuel Chukwueze remains unavailable to Villarreal, as he sits out of his team’s La Liga opener against Granada.

The Nigeria international has been out of action since picking an injury during the Yellow Submarine’s Europa League semi-final fixture against Arsenal on May 6.

Before his injury nightmare, the Super Eagles was a threat to the Gunners’ backline, very nearly giving the Spaniards an early lead after four minutes.

Sadly, his contributions in the competition came to an end, however he still picked up a winner's medal after his Spanish topflight side beat Manchester United in the final to emerge as champions.
