La Liga side Villarreal hopes injured players Eric Bailly and Leo Baptistao will recover during the upcoming international football break.
Forward Baptistao injured his right leg on October 20 and has been on the sidelines ever since. Villarreal hope the Brazilian will catch up with the rest of his peers against Eibar in El Madrigal during the next round of La Liga, reports Efe.
