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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

DECEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Marcos Acuna - 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.

DECEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Tanguy Nianzou - Out with thigh problem Nianzou is dealing with a thigh injury that will rule him out against Lens on Tuesday.

Impact Nianzou will actually miss his third straight match due to his thigh problem after being sidelined versus Astorga in the Copa del Rey on Dec. 6 and against Mallorca on Saturday. With Loic Bade (calf) also unavailable, the club will have to stretch to the depth of the squad on the backline. The duo of Sergio Ramos and Nemanja Gudelj figures to hold down the middle of the defense.

Jesus Navas - Sustained hamstring problem Navas -- who has already missed two contests -- is expected to be out of action for 6-8 weeks due to a hamstring injury, per Mundo Deportivo.

Impact Navas figures to be out through at least mid-January based on the reported recovery timeline. In those previous two absences, Juanlu has featured in the right-back role and should continue to do so for the remainder of Navas' absence. Once cleared to play, Navas figures to be a near-lock to reclaim his spot on the pitch.

DECEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Orjan Nyland - Not ready to return Nyland (quadriceps) will be out of action again versus Lens on Tuesday.

Impact Nyland has already been out of action for six straight matches and looks no closer to returning to the pitch. At this point, the keeper should probably be considered out indefinitely and almost certainly won't be ready in time for Saturday's clash with Getafe given the shortened week.

DECEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dodi Lukebakio - Dealing with knee injury Lukebakio has been diagnosed with a high-grade sprain in the internal lateral ligament of his right knee, the club announced Monday.

Impact Lukebakio figures to miss between 4-6 weeks based on general recovery timelines, though the club didn't provide a specific guide. With Lucas Ocampos suspended and Erik Lamela (leg) both unavailable against Lens on Tuesday, Rafa Mir could be in contention to make just his third start of the season.

DECEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Erik Lamela - Won't return Tuesday Lamela (leg) will remain on the shelf versus Lens on Tuesday.

Impact Lamela will be out of action for his fifth consecutive contest due to his long-term leg injury. Even when healthy, the forward has started just once since September and figures to serve primarily as a bench option even once cleared to play. As such, Lamela figures to be a relative non-factor in fantasy contests.

DECEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Suso - Missing from squad list Suso (thigh) will remain sidelined heading into Tuesday's Champions League matchup with Lens.

Impact Suso has been out of action since Nov. 12 against Betis due to his lingering thigh problem and will now be out of the squad again Tuesday. Considering the midfielder started just once in his last five matches, including being an unused substitute twice, fantasy players probably shouldn't be expecting him to immediately jump back into the starting XI once given the all-clear.

DECEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Loic Bade - Absence to continue Bade (calf) will not return in time to face Lens on Tuesday.

Impact Bade will be out of action for his fourth consecutive contest and should probably be considered a long shot to feature versus Getafe on Saturday. Sergio Ramos should continue to feature in the starting XI in a central defensive role with Bade unavailable.

DECEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ivan Rakitic - Delivers 17 crosses in defeat Rakitic generated five shots (one on goal), 17 crosses (six accurate) and 10 corners in Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Mallorca.

Impact Rakitic set a new season-high with 17 crosses delivered, six of which were accurate. The high amount of crosses was a direct result of him being on corner kick duty, which saw him take 10 corners in this match. Additionally, the midfielder led his team with five shots taken; however, only one of those was on goal.

DECEMBER 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Marko Dmitrovic - Concedes once in defeat Dmitrovic recorded two saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Mallorca.

Impact Dmitrovic was beaten once in the 11th minute, which turned out to be the only goal in the contest. The goalkeeper managed only two saves, his lowest amount over the past five games, which was a result of his team controlling the game as they looked to equalize. His next La Liga match will be against Getafe, a team with 18 goals in 16 games.

DECEMBER 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dodi Lukebakio - Leaves match with injury Lukebakio exited Saturday's match against Mallorca in the 32nd minute after going down with an apparent injury.

Impact Lukebakio appeared to be dealing with some discomfort as he left the pitch during Saturday's contest. It is unclear what exactly the attacker is dealing with, but the club will hope it is only minor, as he has only missed out on the starting XI six times all season.

DECEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Boubakary Soumare - Starting Saturday Soumare (ankle) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Mallorca.

Impact Soumare is back in action after a three-match absence, returning to the starting XI on Saturday. The midfielder will hope to retain the starting spot now that he is healthy, as he started in six of the last seven matches leading up to his knock after dealing with an injury-filled start of the year.

DECEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Loic Bade - Not ready to face Mallorca Bade (calf) is not in the squad to face Mallorca on Saturday.

Impact Bade continues to deal with a calf injury, and this game against Mallorca comes too soon for the defender. It remains to be seen if the defender will be an option to face Lens on Dec. 12 in the final match of the UEFA Champions League group stage.
