At Sevilla FC Bad news pours from the door of his infirmary. Yes, the team was conditioned by the absences of recent weeks and it was going to be worse against Oviedo, moreover because of two suspended players (Isaac … and Peque), the situation worsened this Thursday with up to four new absentees from the session, one of the captains dropping out during the session: Azpilicueta. They didn’t exercise Nyland, Alfon and Ramon Martinez. The total number of men unavailable three days before receiving one of the clubs that mark the relegation zone of La Liga is 13 absenceswith the hope that someone can join us in the next few hours, without wanting to take any significant risk for themselves.
From the first team, the players who are still in one piece are: the goalkeeper Vlachodimos; the defenders Carmona and Cardoso; midfielders Gudelj, Jordan, Agoumé, Mendy and Sow; and the attackers Akor, Alexis and Ejukewithout counting Isaac and Pequewho are not injured but are punished. In total, the first team has eleven professionals available, not counting Álvaro Fernándezwho, despite his record, fits neither in the plans of the coach nor those of the club. Therefore, organizing an eleven becomes an almost impossible task.
For this very reason, Almeida He is forced to withdraw from the quarry in areas where the team is most weakened. Bear and Castrin They were already in the game Valence and their competition is obligatory against Oviedo, in a match that was marked in red as an obligatory victory and which took on an even more transcendental aspect due to the hemorrhage of professionals from which the team suffers. And all this during a week where there will be up to three matches against important rivals in a few days. Oviedo, Alavés in the Cup and Real Madrid. Almost nothing.
A possible eleven
The solutions of Matías Almeyda They try not to invent too much. Compared to the eleven he played at Mestalla, the new absences would only force him to do without Azpilicueta due to injury and Peque due to suspension. Solutions? Location at Cardoso in place of the Navarrese, with Alexis for the small Catalan community. However, at home they should try to offer something more, facing a rival who will surely wait for the locals to make a mistake.
An eleven according to a usual Almeyda system could be the following: Vlachodimos; Carmona, Gudelj, Castrín, Oso; Agoumé, Mendy, Truie; Alexis, Ejuke and Akor Adams. One man per line would be kept on the bench, with Cardoso, Jordan and I’m waiting for me to get over the fever Alfon. A few changes to try to freshen up a team that cannot afford more absences or more setbacks. In addition to results, the coach is pushed by injuries, like many of his predecessors. An evil that has haunted Seville for years.
