Tanguy Nianzou - Still sidelined Tuesday Nianzou (hamstring) wasn't included in the squad list ahead of Tuesday's matchup with Almeria.

Impact Nianzou has yet to get onto the pitch this season and hasn't been pictured back at training. Given his extended layoff, the defender almost certainly will see some minutes off the bench before he is in contention for a spot in the starting XI. In the meantime, Loic Bade and Nemanja Gudelj figure to see the bulk of the minutes at center back. There is no reason at this point to expect Nianzou to feature against Barcelona on Friday either.

Marcos Acuna - Remains on shelf Acuna (hamstring) will once again be sidelined versus Almeria on Tuesday.

Impact Acuna will be on the shelf for the fifth consecutive contest due to his lingering hamstring problem. At this point, the left-back should probably be considered out indefinitely at this point given his extended absence. In his stead, Adria Pedrosa has featured the most in the starting XI, though Kike Salas most recently started at left-back. Regardless, once cleared to play, Acuna should eventually retake his spot in the back line. Given the quick turnaround, Acuna will almost certainly remain out versus Barcelona on Friday as well.

Oliver Torres - Ruled out against Almeria Torres will be unavailable versus Almeria on Tuesday after suffering a muscular injury. Manager Jose Luis Mendilibar told reporters, "Oliver is not here for tomorrow. The other one...

Impact Torres subbed off in the 85th minute against Osasuna on Saturday due to muscular discomfort and is considered a doubt ahead of Friday's clash with Barcelona. The quick turnaround may see the attacking midfielder sidelined for his second consecutive contest, though he hasn't been officially ruled out. Once given the all-clear, Torres should be a mainstay in the starting XI moving forward.

Ivan Rakitic - Delivers six crosses in draw Rakitic had one shot (zero on goal), six crosses (two accurate) and four corners in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Osasuna. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 64th minute.

Impact Rakitic created four chances for the second consecutive game, and has now created four or more chances in three out of the previous four games. The midfielder also sent in six crosses, and has now delivered six or more crosses in five out six games this season.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Oliver Torres - Takes three shots in draw Torres registered three shots (one on goal) and three crosses (zero accurate) in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Osasuna.

Impact Torres achieved a new season-high with three shots taken after failing to take a shot in his previous four appearances this season. However, the midfielder failed to create a chance for the first time in his three appearances as a starter.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Orjan Nyland - Secures clean sheet in debut Nyland had two saves and secured a clean sheet in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Osasuna.

Impact Nyland made his Sevilla debut, after regular starter Mario Dmitrovic was given the day off after appearing in their Champions League match on Tuesday. The goalkeeper faced little pressure as he registered his clean sheet, as he only saw two shots on goal from the opposing team. He may be in line for more starts in weeks where Sevilla has Champions League matches.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jesus Navas - Injured during warmups Navas picked up an undisclosed injury during warmups and won't play Saturday against Osasuna, Orgullo de Nervion reports.

Impact The veteran right-back suffered discomfort while going through the pre-game exercises, and the coaching staff didn't want to take any risks with him. As a result, Juanlu will start at right-back against Osasuna, and further tests will be needed to determine whether Navas will be able to play against Almeria next Tuesday on a quick turnaround.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Adnan Januzaj - Makes bench Saturday Januzaj (coach's decision) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Osasuna.

Impact Januzaj is finally set to make his season debut. However, he'll have to wait for his opportunity off the bench.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Mariano Diaz - Suffers injury Mariano suffered an adductor injury and could miss multiple games, Alvaro Borrego of El Desmarque reports.

Impact It's unclear if Mariano picked up the injury in a game or during training, but he could be out for around two weeks, meaning he has a shot at returning to action before the international break, but that's not certain. His absence shouldn't alter Sevilla's attacking plans, however, as he was expected to be nothing more than a depth option upfront.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Suso - Doesn't travel to face Osasuna Suso (undisclosed) is not in the squad to face Osasuna on Saturday.

Impact Sevilla's head coach, Jose Luis Mendilibar, said he wanted to rotate the side to avoid the risk of injuries, and considering Suso has been dealing with some soreness of late, he wasn't included on the squad to face Osasuna on the road. He could be ready to face Almeria next week, however.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sergio Ramos - Won't play Saturday Ramos (undisclosed) is not in the squad to face Osasuna on Saturday.

Impact Sevilla's head coach, Jose Luis Mendilibar, acknowledged that the veteran center-back is dealing with muscular soreness, which isn't surprising given how involved he's been since joining the team close to the end of the transfer window. The injury is not severe, however, and Ramos has been left out just as a precautionary move. He could be available when Sevilla host Almeria next Tuesday.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Tanguy Nianzou - Out once again Nianzou (hamstring) is not in the squad to face Osasuna on Saturday.

Impact Nianzou continues his recovery from a nagging hamstring injury, but the defender is not ready to play yet, so he's been left out again. His next chance to feature will come next Tuesday at home against Almeria.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Adnan Januzaj - Available to play Saturday Januzaj (coach's decision) is in the squad to face Osasuna on Saturday.

Impact Januzaj wasn't included in the squad for the Champions League opener against Lens on Wednesday, as he's not part of the list for that competition, but he might be in line to make his season debut here. If he does play, then he's pretty likely to come off the bench due to his lack of match fitness.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Marcos Acuna - Ruled out Acuna (hamstring) is out for Saturday's trip to Osasuna, Sevilla announced.

Impact Acuna won't return during Saturday's trip to Osasuna due to an ongoing hamstring injury. The full-back returned to training Thursday but wasn't deemed fit enough to return. His next chance to return will be a Tuesday mid-week clash with Almeria. In the meantime Adria Pedrosa should continue in the starting XI.

Marcos Acuna - Participating in training Acuna (hamstring) took part in Thursday's training session in the lead-up to Saturday's matchup with Osasuna.

Impact Acuna has missed the club's last three contests due to his hamstring problem but would be a welcome return considering the club plays five matches over an upcoming 15-day span. With Acuna sidelined, Adria Pedrosa has stepped into the left-back role and figures to continue deputizing in Acuna's stead as needed.

Sergio Ramos - Dominant performance against Lens Ramos had one shot (zero on goal) in Wednesday's 1-1 draw versus Lens. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 70th minute.

Ivan Rakitic - Sets up goal against Lens Rakitic assisted once to go with 13 crosses (five accurate) and five corners in Wednesday's 1-1 draw against Lens.

Impact Rakitic assisted Lucas Ocampos in the ninth minute. He had another stellar performance as he created four chances and also made one tackle and one interception. He was replaced by Suso in the 74th minute. He had assisted once in six games in the Champions League last season and had made a total of nine tackles.

Lucas Ocampos - Scores early against Lens Ocampos scored one goal to go with four shots (two on goal), five crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Wednesday's 1-1 draw against Lens. In addition, he was given a y...

Impact Ocampos scored a ninth minute header from a corner taken by Ivan Rakitic. He however missed a big chance in the 31st minute. He also completed four dribbles and made one tackle and one interception. He had failed to score in the Champions League last season and has already improved upon that.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Marko Dmitrovic - Concedes to Lens Dmitrovic recorded two saves and allowed one goal in Wednesday's 1-1 draw against Lens.

Impact Dmitrovic made only two saves and conceded to Angelo Fulgini in the 24th minute. He had made four saves in two games in the Champions League last season and had kept two clean sheets.

Youssef En-Nesyri - Quiet Wednesday En-Nesyri shot once and made 12 passes during Wednesday's clash with Lens.

Impact En-Nesyri got the start and played 80 minutes but failed to do anything of note Wednesday. He was largely shut down by a cohesive Lens back line and failed to get on the scoresheet. En-Nesyri scored in the domestic opener and hasn't gotten on the scoresheet again.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Adnan Januzaj - Not available for Champions League Januzaj was not included in Sevilla's UCL list and won't be eligible to face Lens on Wednesday. Manager Jose Luis Mendilibar told reporters, "He has trained well and we have to tak...

Impact Januzaj has yet to get onto the pitch for the club this season after dealing with an offseason injury but looks to at least be fit enough to play in La Liga contests. If deemed fit, the forward could start seeing minutes domestically now that the busy Champions League season has begun.
