Villarreal coach Manuel Pellegrini is adamant midfielder Marcos Senna is a crucial part of his team.

Senna was superb against Celtic this week, only days after it emerged that CSKA Moscow were preparing a huge offer for him to consider in January.

Pellegrini, however, insists: "Marcos Senna is a great player who is in excellent form at the moment. He is part of the team and obviously has great individuality."
