Djibril Sow - Will miss match against Granada Sow will not be available for Tuesday's match against Granada after going down with an injury in his Achilles against Getafe on Saturday, the club confirmed.

Impact Sow may be heading towards a spell on the sidelines, having picked up a knock in his Achilles. Not much has been released on the player's injury yet, so it is unsure how serious it is or when he is expected to return. The club will hope it is only minor, as the midfielder has started in all but four matches this season. With Sow being out against Garanda, expect Suso or Boubakary Soumare to get the nod in the starting XI.

Djibril Sow - Takes two shots in loss to Getafe Sow registered two shots (zero on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-0 loss against Getafe.

Impact Sow was one of the few Sevilla players who actively attempted to do anything in the final meters, but he was unsuccessful from his midfield role. Sevilla are missing several players in the middle of the park due to injuries and suspensions, meaning Sow might remain in the starting lineup against Granada on Tuesday.

Youssef En-Nesyri - Struggles to make impact Saturday En-Nesyri generated three shots (two on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 3-0 loss against Getafe.

Impact En-Nesyri can complicate any defense in the league, but such wasn't the case Saturday, and he was unable to make a major impact in the final meters. The Morocco international has gone three league matches without scoring, and he will aim to snap that drought when facing Granada on Tuesday.

Marko Dmitrovic - Concedes three goals Saturday Dmitrovic made four saves and allowed three goals in Saturday's 3-0 defeat to Getafe. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 4th minute.

Impact Dmitrovic didn't have his best performance Saturday and couldn't do much in the 3-0 loss, but to be fair, the entire defensive line looked overmatched, something that has been a trend with Sevilla of late. Dmitrovic will hope to deliver a bounce-back effort when Sevilla takes on Granada on Tuesday in what figures to be an easier matchup for a struggling squad.

Ivan Rakitic - Picks up fifth yellow card Rakitic picked up his fifth yellow card of the season and will be suspended for Tuesday's match at Granada.

Impact Sevilla will add another absentee to their lengthy list of unavailable players for this upcoming matchup, and losing Rakitic will deprive the team of one of their most talented playmakers. Oliver Torres could step in as a potential replacement with other midfielders also unavailable. Rakitic will be eligible to return when Sevilla face Atletico Madrid in a re-scheduled match on Dec. 23.

Marcos Acuna - 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.

Mariano Diaz - Won't face Getafe Mariano (knee) is not in the squad to face Getafe on Saturday.

Impact Mariano is set to miss a fourth game in a row due to a knee injury, and he has no clear timetable for his return. His next chance to play will come against Granada on Dec. 19, but even if he's available, he's not expected to have a prominent role and should see most of his minutes off the bench.

Joan Jordan - Sidelined once again Jordan (quadriceps) is not in the squad to face Getafe on Saturday.

Impact Jordan didn't play against Lens due to a bruised quad, and it seems the injury is severe enough to keep him sidelined for a second consecutive match. The central midfielder has made just two appearances (one start) since the beginning of October, so he's not expected to play a prominent role even if available. His next chance to play will come against Granada on Dec. 19.

DECEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Orjan Nyland - Won't play Saturday Nyland (quadriceps) is not in the squad to face Getafe on Saturday.

Impact Nyland will miss an eighth straight game in all competitions, and it seems he's nowhere near to return yet. Marko Dmitrovic will remain between the posts for the foreseeable future, and Nyland's next chance to return will come against Granada on Dec. 19.

Dodi Lukebakio - Set for three-month absence Lukebakio is expected to be sidelined for around three months after suffering a severe sprain on one of his right knee ligaments, Jose Manuel Rodriguez of Diario De Sevilla reports...

Impact Lukebakio suffered the injury against Mallorca on Dec. 9, but it was widely known it was going to be a severe problem given it was a non-contact injury. Further tests confirmed the worst possible outcome, and the speedy winger won't be able to feature until March next year at the earliest. Sevilla are dealing with a long list of injury absentees, so names such as Adnan Januzaj (undisclosed), Suso (thigh), Musa Drammeh, Erik Lamela (strain) and Lucas Ocampos are all going to have more prominent roles in the upcoming weeks.

DECEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Suso - Set to be available Suso (thigh) is expected to be an option for Saturday's match against Getafe, confirmed manager Diego Alonso.

Impact Suso will look to make his return to the pitch after missing the last five matches with a thigh injury. He will likely get the start off the bench at minimum, recording four starts during his previous eight games played, generating a goal on 34 crosses (11 accurate) and 12 chances created in that span.

DECEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Marcao - Returning to team Marcao (groin) is expected to be an option for Saturday's match versus Getafe, according to manager Diego Alonso.

Impact Marcao will look to make his season debut Saturday after missing the last six months with a groin injury. He has maintained a limited role for the team since last season as the defender will likely remain a depth option until he can consistently play in full form.

DECEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Adnan Januzaj - Ready for weekend Januzaj (undisclosed) is set to be an option for Saturday's match versus Getafe, per manager Diego Alonso.

Impact Januzaj has only made five La Liga appearances since the 2022/23 campaign for Sevilla, not falling in the favorite of the coaches to play. He is expected to remain on the bench as an unused sub for the club.

Ivan Rakitic - Another productive outing Tuesday Rakitic recorded three shots (one on goal), 12 crosses (three accurate) and seven corners in Tuesday's 2-1 loss against Lens.

Impact Rakitic was by far the best attacked in Sevilla's Champions League loss Tuesday as he led the team in shots, chances created, crosses and corners taken. IT marked his fifth consecutive match with three or more chances created and his third straight match with 10 or more crosses (seventh total). With his side now knocked completely out of European competition, Rakitic will look to help drag his side that currently sits at 16th in La Liga up the table.

Sergio Ramos - Scores in UCL loss Ramos scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) in Tuesday's 2-1 defeat versus Lens. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 80th minute.

Impact Ramos had a vintage Champions League match in Tuesday's loss as he scored a panenka penalty in the 79th minute to tie the match at 1-1 and then was immediately shown a yellow card for kicking the ball at the opposing goalkeeper. It marked his second UCL goal of the season and the 17th of his career, and with Sevilla looking unlikely to make it back to the Champions League next season, it may have been Ramos' final UCL goal of his illustrious European career. Now he and his hometown side will focus solely on domestic competition for the remainder of the season, as the club finds itself just three points removed from a relegation spot.

DECEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Marko Dmitrovic - Concedes twice in UCL loss Dmitrovic had no saves and allowed two goals in Tuesday's 2-1 defeat versus Lens.

Impact Dmitrovic conceded two goals in Tuesday's loss, including a goal scored by Angelo Fulgini in the 96th minute which knocked Sevilla completely out of European competition. Dmitrovic had a forgettable Champions League campaign, conceding eight goals and keeping zero clean sheets in four starts. He and his side will now focus solely on domestic competition for the remainder of the season, starting Saturday versus Getafe, a side which has scored 18 goals in 16 league matches this season.

Joan Jordan - Out with quad injury Jordan will not be in the squad to face Lens on Tuesday after suffering a bruised quadriceps.

Impact Jordan has been an unused substitute in 10 of the club's last 12 contests, so his absence is unlikely to impact the starting XI significantly. Still, the absences of Suso (thigh) and Fernando (suspension/shoulder) could have afforded Jordan the opportunity to get some minutes. With a shirt week, Jordan should probably be considered a doubt to face Lens on Tuesday.

DECEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Mariano Diaz - Missing from squad Mariano will miss his third straight match Tuesday against Lens due to a long-term knee problem.

Impact Mariano was an unused substitute in two consecutive contests before suffering his knee injury but may still have been pressed into service Tuesday with Dodi Lukebakio (knee) and Lucas Ocampos (suspension) both unavailable. If the rest of the squad is fully fit, Mariano figures to serve primarily in a substitute role.
