VillarrealOut Sunday
Moreno (undisclosed) is out for Sunday's match against Atletico Madrid.
Analysis: Moreno is not with his teammates Sunday and will miss the final match of the season, as an undisclosed injury is too much to play through. This is a major loss for the club as they lose a forward, forcing Ayoze Perez and Georges Mikautadze to start at forward. Moreno ends his season with 10 goals on 39 shots in 22 appearances (16 starts) this season.
Late call for season finale
Moreno (undisclosed) is a late call for Saturday's season finale against Atletico Madrid after not training fully this week, according to coach Marcelino.
Analysis: Moreno's availability for what would be a significant fixture for Villarreal will be determined after a final assessment ahead of kickoff, with the club not wanting to rush the veteran striker back before he is fully ready. Ayoze Perez is expected to step into the starting lineup if Moreno cannot be cleared in time for what promises to be a celebratory occasion at the Estadio de la Ceramica.
Gets opening goal
Moreno scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Wednesday's 3-2 defeat against Sevilla.
Analysis: Moreno got the scoring started for Villarreal but wasn't able to do much else in the 3-2 loss on Wednesday. The forward will need more volume to break Rayo Vallecano's defense, which has only conceded 43 times in 36 La Liga games.
Bags opener Sunday
Moreno scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) in Sunday's 2-1 win versus Celta Vigo.
Analysis: Moreno got the scoring going early Sunday, converting a penalty in the 2nd minute to take the early lead. It marked one of three shots he took in the match, the third time in his last four matches with at least three shots. He now has nine goals through 18 appearances (14 starts) this season.
