Tajon Buchanan

Analysis: Buchanan found the back of the net while playing in just the final minutes off the bench Saturday during the 5-1 win over Levante. The midfielder has only been used in a rotational role off the bench, starting just four times in the last nine league appearances, having scored two goals with five crosses and making three interceptons in that span

Trains normally, option for Levante

Buchanan (undisclosed) returned to normal training Wednesday and is in contention for Saturday's clash against Levante, according to coach Marcelino. "Bucha trained normally, he will be an option for the game if he doesn't have any setbacks."

Analysis: Buchanan had been ruled out of last weekend's win over Celta with a knock and was listed as week-to-week at the time, making his swift return to full training a faster turnaround than initially anticipated. The Canadian midfielder will be keen to get back on the pitch for the final stretch of the season with the World Cup this summer firmly in his sights, and Villarreal will be happy to have him available again heading into Saturday's fixture against Levante.
