Villarreal coach Quique Setien hopes to count on a fully fit Gerard Moreno for the second-half of the season.
The Spain striker battled with injury before the midseason break.
Setien said: “He is a player who interprets his position very well.
"He can play as a No.9, but he is a very intelligent player who knows when to be in different areas of the pitch. The important thing is that his movements are interpreted by his teammates to take advantage of the spaces he creates.
"I see him in any position he is going to play."
