Impact Albiol returned to the starting XI Sunday after missing the previous match due to a yellow card suspension. The veteran defender's four clearances led the way for Villarreal's clean sheet effort as they defeated Rayo Vallecano by a margin of 3-0. Albiol has been in and out of the lineup lately due to injury and disciple issues. Over Villarreal's last nine matches, Albiol has appeared in just three (three starts). On the whole, Albiol has featured 24 times (23 starts) for Villarreal and provided one assist on the campaign.
