He Seville They lost last Saturday at the Santiago Bernabéu against the real Madrid (2-0). The Nervionense team was very angry with the refereeing performance of the team led by Alejandro Muniz Ruizthat expelled Marcao and Almeyda and … He didn’t show Rodrygo the red card among other questionable decisions. Even if the team went on vacation without scoring, the coach was proud of the performance offered by his players who, both in numerical equality and in inferiority, had several opportunities to score. Furthermore, while he lost a footballer today due to suspension, the coach He was at least able to count on several players absent due to injury during the last few matches.
They were already in the starting lineup three of the new additions to the call list. Marcaoprotagonist of the match, replaced Andrés Castrín in the line of three central defenders. With an overload, the Brazilian He had missed the last four games. In addition, Gabriel Suazo He again occupied the left lane. The Chilean was relieved by Oso in the second half. The youth team performed well when he had to replace him in four games he missed for his physical problems. In the cup match against Deportivo Alavés he was already on the squad list, but he had no minutes. Isaac Romerofor his part, returned to the eleven after missing the last two championship matches (he played in the Copa del Rey) for his expulsion during the last derby.
Like Isaac, Little He was given space in the game again after serving his course sanction for accumulating cautions. On this occasion, he did not see any yellow cards.
The list of returns is completed Adnan Januzaj And Kike Salas. Both players come on down the stretch and barely make contact with the ball. In the case of the Belgian winger, he had been weak the last four matches (against Alavés, he was already on the bench although he did not play). Kike Salas, for his part, was lost the last three duels. Orjan Nylandabsent in the last two games, was also already in the team, but did not play because Odysseas Vlachodimos was, as usual, the starting goalkeeper.
Three players still in the infirmary
Now, with a little rest, Almeyda hopes that in order to return to competition, some of the footballers who remained in the infirmary will be able to join the group. Tanguy Nianzou, César Azpilicueta and Rubén Vargas These are the players who are currently working on their recovery. We have already seen them during the last training sessions being able to train apart from the rest of the group.
However, for other reasons, Almeyda already knows that for the duel against Levante on January 4 I won’t be able to count on Marcao and that there will be many possibilities of not being able to access Akor Adams and Ejuke. As mentioned, the Brazilian will have to serve the first of his suspension matches, while the two Nigerian footballers concentrate with their national team to compete in the African Cup. The group stage will conclude for the ‘Super Eagles’ on December 30 and, given that the top two placed in each group and some of the best third placed will advance to the next round, it is very likely that Akor Adams and Chidera Ejuke will continue to face Nigeria in early January.
