Federico Pastorello told Radio Calciomercato.com : “He’s getting better after his injury and is on the road to recovery.
“He’s in the middle of his recovery and we hope he’s back before Christmas.
“Villarreal want him back so he can maintain his good progress and not lose ground on two rivals for the top scorer’s award, Messi (Barcelona) and Aguero (Atletico Madrid).”
