Fernando - Recovering from injury Fernando (ankle) is almost done rehabbing his ankle and is expected to be with the squad by the start of the season, El Desmarque reports.

Impact Fernando was dealing with an ankle injury throughout March of last season before finally choosing to undergo surgery at the end of the month. He has gradually working his way back up to fitness during the offseason and will soon be ready to begin the preseason with his teammates.

Jules Kounde - To undergo minor surgery Kounde will undergo an operation for a pelvis injury on Tuesday, Sevilla have announced. He is expected to be recovered and fit for the start of next season.

Anthony Martial - Out for season finale Martial was not involved in Sunday's victory against Athletic Club.

Impact Martial was an epic bust for Sevilla during his six-month loan stint with the club scoring one goal and one assist across 11 appearances (eight starts) in all competitions, and he spent just as much time sidelined with injury as he did on the pitch. The 26-year-old is set to return to Manchester United in the summer, but he was unable to take advantage of this new environment during his loan stint like he may have hoped.

Youssef En-Nesyri - Takes four shots against Bilbao En-Nesyri took four shots in Sunday's 1-0 victory against Athletic Bilbao.

Impact En-Nesyri had a disappointing campaign with just five goals in 23 La Liga appearances (15 starts) after netting 18 times in 2020/21. The 24-year-old will be challenging Rafa Mir for the starting spot at striker next season.

MAY 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Munir El Haddadi - On bench in season finale El Haddadi was an unused substitute in Sunday's victory against Athletic Club.

Impact El Haddadi scored two goals in 16 La Liga appearances (four starts) this season, but the 26-year-old's playing time has decreased in each of his three full campaigns with Sevilla.

MAY 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Suso - Out for season finale Suso (ankle) was not involved in Sunday's season finale against Athletic Club.

Impact Suso ends his second campaign in Sevilla with one assist in 12 appearances (10 starts) across La Liga and the Champions League, but a dislocated ankle kept him out from November onwards. The 28-year-old will hope to return at full fitness next season, but added competition in the form of Jesus Corona and Erik Lamela on the right wing will see him needing to prove himself in order to get back into the starting lineup.

Papu Gomez - Takes shot in win Gomez subbed into Sunday's match against Athletic Club in the 69th minute and he took a shot on target in the 1-0 victory.

Impact Gomez was a regular when fit in his first full campaign with Sevilla, posting five goals and an assist in 29 La Liga appearances (19 starts) from either the left wing or attacking midfield. The 34-year-old is supremely skilled, but he isn't getting younger and likely will continue to see rotation with players like Lucas Ocampos and Jesus Corona on the left side next season.

MAY 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Lucas Ocampos - Comes off bench in season finale Ocampos subbed into Sunday's match against Athletic Club in the 69th minute and he played the final 20 minutes or so of the 1-0 victory.

Impact Ocampos had another solid season with Sevilla, wracking up a combined eight goals and five assists across 39 appearances (31 starts) in La Liga and in Europe. The 27-year-old might never again be as prolific as his 14-goal debut season in Spain, but he is still a consistent performer on either wing and should continue getting starter-level minutes next season, even with added competition across the attacking line.

MAY 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Thomas Delaney - Creates chance in win Delaney made a block and created a chance in Sunday's 1-0 victory against Athletic Club. He also won two of three tackles in the match.

Impact Delaney tallied two goals, one assist and three clean sheets in 26 La Liga appearances (15 starts) during his first season in Sevilla after leaving Borussia Dortmund. The 30-year-old is decidedly a backup option in midfield at the moment, but with Ivan Rakitic and Fernando both turning 35 by the end of next season, Delaney could still get significant minutes when those veterans need a break.

MAY 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Oliver Torres - Takes shot in win Torres took a shot on target and created a chance in Sunday's 1-0 victory against Athletic Club.

Impact Torres tallied two goals and three assists from 26 La Liga appearances (11 starts) in midfield this season, but the 27-year-old isn't getting any closer to breaking into Sevilla's starting lineup at this point.

MAY 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Joan Jordan - Takes shot in win Jordan took a shot and created a chance in Sunday's 1-0 victory against Athletic Club. He also made two blocks and a clearance in the match.

Impact Jordan was a quiet mainstay in Sevilla's midfield, tallying a goal and an assist across 42 appearances (35 starts) in La Liga and the Champions League this season. The 27-year-old's chance creation, however, paled in comparison to what he accomplished in 2020/21, with six assists in that campaign.

MAY 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ivan Rakitic - Comes off bench in season finale Rakitic subbed into Sunday's match against Athletic Club in the 82nd minute and played the final 10 minutes or so in the 1-0 victory.

Impact Rakitic remains a vital player in Sevilla's midfield, this season finishing with four goals and six assists -- his highest number of goal involvements since 2016/17 with Barcelona -- in 35 La Liga matches (26 starts) despite having to play in a more defensive role due to injuries to his teammates in the final few months. With 41 chances created in this campaign overall, the 34-year-old is still as dangerous as ever.

MAY 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ludwig Augustinsson - On bench in season finale Augustinsson was an unused substitute in Sunday's victory against Athletic Club.

Impact Augustinsson's first Sevilla campaign ended with one assist and two clean sheets in 19 La Liga appearances (nine starts) at left back. The 28-year-old is the clear backup to Marcos Acuna at left back and will likely remain so next season.

MAY 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Gonzalo Montiel - On bench in season finale Montiel was an unused substitute in Sunday's victory against Athletic Club.

Impact Montiel ends his first campaign in Sevilla with one goal, two assists and four clean sheets in 18 La Liga appearances (15 starts), plus two starts and a clean sheet in the Champions League. The 25-year-old is still the backup to club legend Jesus Navas at right back, but the latter will turn 37 in the fall and Montiel can expect to begin shouldering a bigger load next season.

MAY 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Marcos Acuna - Takes shot against Bilbao Acuna took a shot and created a chance in Sunday's 1-0 victory against Athletic Club. He also made a block three clearances and won one of two tackles in the match.

Impact Acuna had a solid second campaign with Sevilla as he ended with one goal, three assists and 10 clean sheets in 31 La Liga appearances (26 starts) at left back, even if his individual defensive numbers decreased a bit this time around. The 30-year-old will likely remain the preferred option at the position next season ahead of Ludwig Augustinsson.

MAY 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Jules Kounde - Keeps clean sheet in win Kounde made a block and two clearances in Sunday's 1-0 victory against Athletic Club.

Impact Kounde had another excellent season with Sevilla, forming La Liga's best defense this campaign with 13 clean sheets in 32 appearances (31 starts) and adding two goals and an assist at the other end as well. The 23-year-old is linked with a move to a bigger club over the summer, which would be a huge blow to the Spanish side's back line after already transferring his center back partner Diego Carlos to Aston Villa.

MAY 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Bono - On bench in season finale Bono was an unused substitute in Sunday's victory against Athletic Club.

Impact Bono was given a rest in favor of Marko Dmitrovic on Sunday, but the Morocco international remains the undisputed starter in goal after keeping 13 clean sheets and conceding just 24 goals in 31 La Liga matches this season.

MAY 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Marko Dmitrovic - Keeps clean sheet to finish season Dmitrovic kept a clean sheet and made one save during Sunday's 1-0 win over Athletic Club.

Impact Dmitrovic received a rare start with the season already wrapped up and kept a fourth clean sheet in six appearances. As long as Bono is around, Dmitrovic will remain the backup.

MAY 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Erik Lamela - Logs assist in win Lamela provided one assist from three chances created in 69 minutes of Sunday's 1-0 win over Athletic Club.

Impact Lamela started in five of the last 10 games of the season after a shoulder injury kept him out between November of 2021 and March of 2022. Competition from Jesus Corona, Alejandro Gomez and Lamela as well as Lucas Ocampos could make for an interesting storyline during the offseason.

MAY 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Rafa Mir - Scores off bench Mir scored one goal from two shots in 31 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 2-1 win over Athletic Club.

Impact Mir finishes the season with a reasonable 10 goals in 34 appearances (18 starts) in La Liga while also playing nine times between the UCL and UEL (one goal scored). Still, a lack of consistency from Sevilla's strikers was notable and Mir will need to prove he can be the remedy next season.

MAY 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Jesus Navas - Logs seven crosses in win Navas provided seven crosses (two accurate) and kept a clean sheet during Sunday's 1-0 win over Athletic Club.

Impact Navas closes the season with his first full 90 in seven games and three assists in 25 appearances (19 La Liga starts). A mid-season thigh injury kept him out from November until February but he still logged over 110 crosses for the fourth straight season.

MAY 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Jesus Corona - Creates four chances in win Corona created four chances on seven crosses (two accurate) during Sunday's 2-1 win over Athletic Club.

Impact Corona scored twice and added four assists during 18 league appearances (12 starts) following a mid-season arrival at Sevilla. He did well with six chances created on 16 crosses over his final two starts, so there's plenty of promise if remains a starter in the coming campaign.
