Karim Rekik - Reportedly out for season Rekik (hamstring) is expected to miss the remainder of the season, according to Marca.

Impact Rekik has featured just once since suffering a hamstring injury in the Europa League on Feb. 17, and he re-injured it in that one appearance against Barcelona last weekend. The 27-year-old's season is likely over now after keeping three clean sheets in 16 La Liga appearances (11 starts), leaving Sevilla very short of options in at the back with Fernando (ankle) and Thomas Delaney (calf) also done for the campaign, as well as Diego Carlos (strain) and Marcos Acuna (hamstring) having spotty injury records recently.
