Yeremi Pino - Won't play vs. Getafe Pino (undisclosed) is out for Sunday's game against Getafe, Javi Mata of Diario AS reports.

Impact Villarreal are dealing with lots of injuries on both sides of the ball, but they'll be particularly weakened in the attacking end, with names such as Gerard Moreno (hip) and Ayoze Perez (undisclosed) sidelined as well. Pino is a decent option when healthy, but he'll have to wait until the Oct. 26 matchup against Valladolid to see if he can return quickly to action.

Nonetheless, he continued on the attack and provided a cross towards Thierno Barry, who headed home a goal in the 84th minute. Baena then followed up with a goal of his own on a shot from the right side of the box, assisted by Santi Comesana late in second half extra time. Baena tied his season high with two shots on target in the match, and he maintained a streak of six straight appearances accounting for at least two chances created.
