Impact Acuna headed Jesus Navas' cross to open the scoring after 11 minutes of play Sunday. The Argentinian made his second straight start and recorded his second direct contribution in that span. He'll be a valuable two-way option in future matchups if he continues to play a wing-back role, and he may also take several set pieces especially when Suso is not on the field.

Returns to bench Acuna (strain) is on the bench for Monday's clash with Almeria.

Impact Acuna is back on the bench for Monday's clash after making a full return to training earlier in the week. The full-back wasn't brought into the starting XI for Monday's clash but the fact he's available on the bench means he should be ready to reprise his starting role in the near future.

Expected to return Acuna (strain) is expected to return during Monday's trip to Almeria, Viva Sevilla reports.

Impact Acuna trained in full earlier in the week and is now expected to get back on the pitch for Monday's clash. The defender could take the starting role back immediately from Adria Pedrosa, especially with the full week of training under his belt. If Acuna isn't deemed fully fit then Pedrosa would likely be in line for a third start in a row at left-back.

MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE

Spotted in training Acuna (strain) was active in training during Thursday's session.

Impact Acuna is nearing his expected return date and it appears he is on track to make it back on the pitch as soon as a Monday trip to Almeria. Adria Pedrosa has seen more chances in the starting XI with Acuna on the sideline, but Acuna should be the preferred option when fully fit.

MARCH 6 • ROTOWIRE

Set for weeks out Acuna (strain) will miss multiple weeks with a muscular issue, Diario de Sevilla reports.

Impact Acuna came off with the muscular issue during Saturday's match against Valencia and it appears it will sideline him for at least two weeks. Adria Pedrosa will take over in the starting XI while Acuna is left on the sideline. Acuna's first chance to return will likely be a March 11 trip to Almeria, if he recovers quickly.

FEBRUARY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Taken off at half Acuna was forced to leave Saturday's contest against Valencia at halftime, appearing to have picked up an undisclosed issue during the match.

Impact Acuna may be heading for another spell on the sidelines, having just returned from an injury three contests ago but going down again against Valencia. The defender's loss would have a decent impact on the club, as he is a regular starter when healthy, but the club has been able to get by without him numerous times this season. He was replaced by Adria Pedrosa, who will most likely get the start in future matches if Acuna does miss time with his newest complications.

FEBRUARY 17 • ROTOWIRE

Four crosses in win Acuna attempted four crosses (three accurate) and took two corners in Sunday's 1-0 win against Atletico Madrid.

Impact Acuna was making his third sart since recovering from an undisclosed injury that kept him out for over a month. The left-back put in a good delivery from the corner that led to the winner and could have registered an assist had Isaac Romero timed his run a little earlier for a goal that was ruled out for offside. He also played his part in the clean sheet, winning two of his three tackles and making two clearances.

FEBRUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Tallies assist in return Acuna assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Osasuna.

Impact Acuna set up teammate Isaac, who buried a shot from the left side of the box in the 24th minute of play. This marked Acuna's first appearance after missing the last seven league games. It also marked his first assist in league play this season and just the second time in nine appearances that he recorded a shot on goal.

Given seven minutes in Copa del Rey Acuna returned to play Thursday against Atletico Madrid in the Copa del Rey, playing the final seven minutes of the match in a 1-0 loss.

Impact Acuna's sight on the pitch was a happy one for many people around Sevilla, as the veteran defender is finally back in the team after missing the club's past eight matches in league play. He will hope to put his injury concerns in the rearview mirror now, as he has had three absences this campaign due to injury. He will now look to capture his starting role back, as when healthy, he started in nine of the 11 matches he has been available for this season.

Out with another injury Acuna has been ruled out of Friday's match against Alaves due to an undisclosed injury, Pepe Jimenez of El Desmarque reports.

Impact Acuna was part of the squad against Racing Ferrol in the Copa del Rey this past weekend, but even though the defender has been ruled out once again, there are no details of the injury he's dealing with this time around. His next chance to feature will come against Girona on Jan. 21.

Involved in Copa del Rey squad Acuna (thigh) is in the squad to face Racing Ferrol in Copa del Rey Sunday.

Not facing Athletic Acuna is not in the squad to face Athletic Bilbao on Thursday.

Viewed training with ball Acuna (thigh) was pictured training with a ball on grass ahead of next Thursday's match against Athletic.

Impact Acuna was back on the training pitch Thursday, as he eyes a return Thursday against Athletic. The defender has missed the club's past five matches with a thigh issue, marking his second extended absence this season due to an injury. If he is selected for their next contest against Athletic, it is still up in the air if he will earn a spot in the starting XI or on the bench. Most will lean towards the bench option, as when he returned from his injury earlier this season, he spent two matches playing off of the bench before returning to his regular spot in the starting XI.

Won't face Atletico Madrid Acuna (thigh) is not in the squad to face Atletico Madrid on Saturday.

Impact Acuna is set to miss a fifth straight game Saturday, meaning Adria Pedrosa will likely remain as the starting left-back until Acuna is ready to return. Acuna will have almost two weeks to recover before Sevilla takes on Athletic Bilbao on Jan. 4.

Remains sidelined Acuna (thigh) will not be with the team for Tuesday's match against Granada, as he was left out of the squad list.

Impact Acuna will be missing his fourth straight match Tuesday, having yet to recover from a thigh injury. There is still no clear timetable for the return of the player, but they will hope he has reached full fitness by the end of the international break. When he does return, he should gain back his regular starting spot on the left flank in the defense.

DECEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out once again Saturday Acuna (thigh) is not in the squad to face Getafe on Saturday.

Impact Acuna remains sidelined without a clear timetable to return, and that poses a problem for a defensive line that's also missing Jesus Navas (hamstring), Loic Bade (calf) and Tanguy Nianzou (thigh) due to injuries. Adria Pedrosa should remain as the starting left-back until Acuna is ready to return. Though unlikely, his next chance to feature will come against Granada on Dec. 19.

DECEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Tuesday Acuna -- who was sidelined against Mallorca on Saturday -- will remain unavailable versus Lens on Tuesday due to a thigh problem.

Impact Acuna's continued absence will compound injuries on the backline that already include Jesus Navas (hamstring), Loic Bade (calf) and Tanguy Nianzou (thigh). Without Acuna in the squad, Adria Pedrosa should drop back into a left-back spot, something he did versus Mallorca on Saturday.
