Dodi Lukebakio - Takes four shots in Tuesday's draw Lukebakio had four shots (three on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Tuesday's 0-0 draw versus Mallorca.

Impact Lukebakio was active as a wing threat in the final third, and even though the end product was lacking, he created quite a few problems for the opposing defensive line. Lukebakio is likely to remain in the XI when Sevilla takes on Girona on Sunday.

Orjan Nyland - Keeps clean sheet Tuesday Nyland recorded four saves and secured a clean sheet in Tuesday's 0-0 draw versus Mallorca.

Impact Nyland played a huge role in this game ending scoreless, and the experienced goalkeeper found a way to respond every time he was needed. This was certainly a step in the right direction for Nyland, who had given up two goals in each of his first two league appearances.

Saul Niguez - Sent off Tuesday Saul was sent off during the second half of Tuesday's clash with Mallorca.

Impact Saul was shown a straight red card late during Tuesday's clash. The midfielder will now be suspended for at least one match, and could be suspended longer than that. With Saul set for a ban Lucien Agoume could step into a larger role in the first team.

Orjan Nyland - Concedes two in loss Nyland made four saves and conceded two goals during Friday's 2-1 loss against Villarreal.

Impact Nyland once again made multiple saves during the game, but he just can't stop allowing goals as he got beaten twice, once with just two minutes into the game and then during second half's stoppage time. To be fair with the goalkeeper, he couldn't do much to prevent either goal so better play from the defensive line in front of him would definitely help a lot.

Saul Niguez - Plays well in Sevilla debut Saul had four shots (one on target), created one chance and made four tackles (three won) during Friday's 2-1 loss against Villarreal.

Impact Saul made his league debut with Sevilla after missing the opener to serve a suspension from last season. And the midfielder was as good as advertised on both ends, being very disruptive without the ball and finding room to go up the field and step into opposition's box to finish plays. Given the first impression he left, Saul profiles as an easy pick for the starting XI moving forward.

Dodi Lukebakio - Scores first season goal Lukebakio scored a goal off his lone shot, created three chances and sent in six crosses (two accurate) during Friday's 2-1 loss against Villarreal.

Impact Lukebakio delivered on the lone chance he had, firing a perfectly executed right-footed volley during first half's stoppage time to momentarily draw things level at 1-1. The forward also created a lot for his teammates from the flank and drove opposing defenders crazy with his combination of speed and skill. After a disappointing debut La Liga campaign last year, Lukebakio will hope this performance is a sign of better things to come.

Impact Montiel has yet to play for Sevilla this season, and he'll have to wait a few more days to make his season debut. The earliest he'll be eligible to play will be against Girona on Sunday, but it wouldn't be surprising if he stays sidelined until after the international break.

Suso - Won't face Mallorca Suso (knee) won't be available to face Mallorca on Tuesday.

Impact Suso is working his way back to full fitness after suffering a knee injury just before the start of the season. The timetable for his return is still unknown, and it wouldn't be surprising if he stays sidelined until after the international break. For now, though, the earliest he could be available is the match against Girona on Sunday, which is Sevilla's last match before that aforementioned stoppage.

Impact Lokonga was expected to be on the team sheet Friday and that has came to fruition, with the midfielder earning a spot on the bench. It is unknown what kinda role he will serve with his new club, but he is likely to see anywhere around a starting to a rotational role, with the player just hoping to at least get time on the field Friday.

Valentin Barco - Loaned to Sevilla Barco has been sent on loan to Sevilla from Brighton, according to his parent club.

Impact Barco will depart England for the season, with the defender heading to Spain for a season-long loan with Sevilla. He only joined Brighton halfway through the previous season, starting in three of his six appearances while notching two clearances, four interceptions, 11 tackles and 30 crosses. This loan is purely being made to give the defender a better opportunity to see some minutes, as he should return to the club competing for starting time next campaign.

Albert Sambi Lokonga - Ready for minutes Sambi Lokanga (hamstring) is an option for Friday's match against Villarreal, according to manager Garcia Pimienta. "It's a shame that Sambi has missed two or three weeks of pre-se...

Impact Sambi Lokanga was expected to miss a few more weeks as he worked on a recovery but plans have changed, as he has seen a boost in fitness and is now ready for action. This is huge news for the club, as he is set to serve in an important role this campaign following his loan move from Luton Town. However, he will not start in his club debut, instead being integrated off the bench and only seeing a few minutes to test his legs.

Impact Saul missed the season opener since he picked up a ban in the final match of the 2023/24 campaign. The midfielder should be a regular in Sevilla's midfield now that he's available to future.

Juanlu - Strong beginning to season Juanlu logged one goal with two shots (one on goal), and four chances created during Sevilla's 2-2 draw Friday against Las Palmas. He also received a yellow card in the 34th minute...

Impact Sevilla's head coach Garcia Pimienta significantly shook up the team for his debut. In particular, Juanlu went from an option out wide to the center of Sevilla's attacking-midfielder trio. Offensively, the change worked, with him being significantly responsible for Sevilla's good results. Juanlu also scored a goal, something he had not achieved in his first three seasons as part of Spain's top flight.

Tanguy Nianzou - Own goal during spot start Nianzou logged an own goal and two shots (zero on goal) during Sevilla's 2-2 draw Friday against Las Palmas.

Impact Not long after Alex Suarez scored an own goal, Nianzou logged one himself, taking away what would have been a first-half lead for Sevilla. Ideally for him, he can receive an immediate opportunity to redeem himself. But with Sevilla's next game scheduled against a tougher team in Villarreal, perhaps Los Nervionenses would be more comfortable using their initial pair of center-backs, with Loic Bade alongside Nemanja Gudelj.

AUGUST 16 • ROTOWIRE

Orjan Nyland - Four saves, two goals conceded Nyland logged four saves but conceded two goals during Sevilla's 2-2 draw Friday against Las Palmas.

Impact Including the 2023-24 La Liga, Nyland has logged exactly four saves during four of his last five appearances in the division. But also, he has conceded multiple goals four times across the previous five. Nyland will aim at preventing that from continuing to be a theme, which he can start with Sevilla's upcoming game against Villarreal on Aug. 23.
