Out with thigh injury Bade was diagnosed with a left thigh injury Saturday and doesn't have a clear timetable for his return.

Impact Losing Bade represents a massive blow for Sevilla, and the fact they also lost Orjan Nyland (knee) and Tanguy Nianzou (hamstring) due to injuries following the 2-0 win over Espanyol on Friday complicates their situation even further. This means Marcao and Kike Salas are expected to see more time at center-back, and Nemanja Gudelj could also see time on the defensive line if needed.

Accumulates five yellow cards Bade was shown his fifth yellow card of the season in Sunday's 3-0 win over Granada, becoming suspended for the next match against Villarreal.

Impact Bade's strong performance in the victory had an unfortunate end, as the suspension now forces him to miss one match.
