Jesus Corona - Still out against Girona Corona (lower leg) was not called up by Sevilla for Saturday's clash against Girona.

Impact Corona has been out since August with a broken fibula and ruptured ankle ligaments, and he hasn't been training with Sevilla recently after appearing to be nearing a return in December. Jesus Navas, Erik Lamela, Suso, Papu Gomez, Oliver Torres and Adnan Januzaj have all gotten starts on the right wing in his absence, but Corona would likely take over the position once he eventually returns to fitness.
