Boubakary Soumare - Option once again Soumare is available to face Osasuna on Sunday, having served a one-match suspension against Girona last Sunday.

Impact Soumare is back in the selection for Sunday's contest, having served a one-match ban due to yellow card accumulation. The midfielder has been a regular starter when he is an option this season, gaining the start in 12 of his 16 appearances, so there is a decent chance he could end up in the starting XI Sunday. If this is the case, he will hope to end up on the scoresheet, having yet to bag a single-goal contribution all season.

Marko Dmitrovic - Concedes five goals Sunday Dmitrovic had three saves and allowed five goals in Sunday's 5-1 loss versus Girona.

Impact Dmitrovic couldn't do anything on the goals he conceded, and the veteran goalkeeper will probably look to put this game behind him, although to be fair, the defense was simply awful. Dmitrovic's next chance to play will come against Osasuna next Sunday.

Adria Pedrosa - Sets up goal in loss Sunday Pedrosa assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), six crosses (two accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 5-1 loss versus Girona.

Impact Pedrosa was a constant attacking threat on the left side of the pitch, and he set up the team's lone goal with a perfect low cross that Isaac Romero smashed home. Pedrosa should remain in the XI since the other natural left-back in the squad, Marcos Acuna, is still recovering from a hamstring injury.

Impact Nyland has missed the last three and half months with a quad injury and could see a return to the pitch Sunday. He is expected to remain the number one keeper for Sevilla, despite Marko Dmitrovic starting the last 12 games for the team, allowing 21 goals with just one clean sheet in that span.

Orjan Nyland - Upgraded to training with ball Nyland (quadriceps) was in training again on Wednesday, this time training with a ball ahead of Sunday's match against Girona.

Impact Nyland could be making his return to action this weekend, as the player has returned to training this week, having been upgraded to working with a ball Wednesday. He has now been absent for the club's past 12 matches and will hope to end that streak soon, if not against Girona. If he is available for that contest, you shouldn't expect him to start immediately, as that quick of a return after such a long absence may hinder the goalie's rehabilitation, and the club will want him to stay healthy, being their main option in the net.

Erik Lamela - Unused in cup win Lamela was an unused substitute during Tuesday's 3-1 Copa del Rey win over Getafe.

Impact Lamela got back in the first team for Tuesday's clash, but failed to get on the pitch. Still the fact he was traveling with the team and fit enough for the bench is a good sign that Lamela should be a full go sooner rather than later.

Oliver Torres - Out with back injury Torres (back) will not be available for Tuesday's Copa de Rey match against Getafe.

Impact Torres was able to play all 90 minutes during Friday's league clash with Alaves. This also includes four starts in the last five games played, recording eight crosses (one accurate) and five tackles (one won) in that span. Adria Pedrosa got the call to start at the left midfield for Tuesday's cup match.

Erik Lamela - Back in traveling squad Lamela (strain) will be available against Getafe in the Copa Del Rey on Wednesday.

Impact Lamela could see his first minutes since Nov. 8 against Arsenal, a stretch of 10 matches on the shelf due to his muscular injury. Given his extended layoff, the forward will likely be eased back into action. Additionally, Lamela featured in the starting XI once in his last six inclusions in the squad, including being an unused substitute three times, so fantasy players probably shouldn't expect him to see a lot of minutes moving forward.

Impact Soumare is back with the team after dealing with some personal issues, having been listed in the starting XI for Friday's contest. The midfielder will hope to continue in the starting role, as he has now started in 12 of the club's past 16 matches. However, he will have to up his goal contribution count if he wants to stay in that role, as he has yet to bag one this season.
