Sevilla preview: Plaguer by injuries
Sevilla, on the other hand, have lots of injury problems going into this game, as Orjan Nyland, Cesar Azpilicueta, Ruben Vargas, Alfon Gonzalez, Tanguy Nianzou, and Adnan Januzaj are all ruled out, while the likes of Gabriel Suazo, Marcao, and Kike Salas still have fitness issues to deal with.
The Nigerian contingent in the squad – Akor Adams and Chidera Ejuke – who both scored in the 4-0 thrashing of Real Oviedo on Sunday, will be unavailable for Sevilla until at least January, as both players have travelled to join the Super Eagles team for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
Predicted lineup: Vlachodimos (GK), Oso, Salas, Cardoso, Carmona, Gudelj, Agoume, Jordan, Romero, Gonzalez & A. Sanchez.
