Jesus Corona - Logs 60 minutes in win Corona created one chance in 60 minutes of Friday's 2-0 win over Elche.

Impact Corona could have picked up a knock that cut short his second start for his new club, though he didn't make much happen before Rafa Mir replaced him in the second half. He'll now focus on his recovery by Sunday's trip to Espanyol, should he still be fighting to keep his place in the lineup.

Lucas Ocampos - Remains sidelined against Elche Ocampos (undisclosed) will not be an option for Friday's clash with Elche.

Impact After being pulled from the squad last minute versus Osasuna on Saturday, Ocampos will be sidelined once again due to his undisclosed injury. Once cleared to play, the forward should reclaim his spot in the starting XI and should serve as a key piece of the Sevilla attack moving forward.

Jesus Navas - Left out Friday Navas (thigh) will miss out against Elche on Friday.

Impact Navas has been training with the first team but will be on the shelf for his 15th consecutive contest due to his thigh problem. Given his extended layoff, the defender should probably be expected to start out in a reserve role off the bench before immediately rejoining the starting XI. Still, once back on the pitch, Navas should provide top-half fantasy value given his ability to rack up crosses.

Anthony Martial - Quiet in Sevilla debut Martial had zero shots attempted and drew two fouls during Saturday's scoreless draw against Osasuna.

Impact Martial made his debut for Sevilla after joining on loan from Manchester United. He was deployed as a forward from the left side as he's used to play but had little impact, even failing to attempt a single shot while he was on the pitch. Martial will try to make up for this quiet first outing during Friday's home match against Elche.

Karim Rekik - Makes four clearances in draw Rekik made four clearances and one interception while helping his side to keep a clean sheet during Saturday's scoreless draw against Osasuna.

Impact Rekik made his third consecutive start, something that hadn't happened yet this season, and was rock-solid as part of the three-men defensive line that kept opposing forwards at bay during most of the match, specially after halftime. The centre back isn't a reliable source of fantasy numbers but his recent strong play makes him a favorite to stay in the lineup for Friday's clash against Elche.

Marcos Acuna - Sends in 11 crosses in draw Acuna created two chances, sent in 11 crosses (two accurate) and made two tackles (both won) during Saturday's scoreless draw against Osasuna.

Impact Acuna was once again a menace from the left flank, reaching double digits in crosses for the third time over the last five matches, but Sevilla's forwards couldn't convert any of the chance he created. The full-back is always capable of proving substantial contributions on both sides of the pitch and will try to remain productive during Friday's home match against Elche.

Bono - Keeps clean sheet in return Bono made three saves and kept a clean sheet during Saturday's scoreless draw against Osasuna.

Impact Bono made his return to the team after playing at AFCON for Morocco national side and picked up where he left off, making some great saves, specially during the first half and keeping his 10th clean sheet over 18 La Liga appearances so far this season. The goalkeeper will try to keep it up during Friday's home match against Elche.

Ivan Rakitic - Misses PK in draw Rakitic had one shot on goal, created one chance, sent in an accurate cross, made six tackles (four won), two clearances and three interceptions and missed a penalty during Saturda...

Impact Rakitic had strong numbers on defense and also showed his playmaking skills in the middle of the park. And the captain had a golden opportunity to give his side all three points from the penalty spot during second half's stoppage time, but his shot was saved by the goalkeeper. Despite of the miss, the veteran midfielder remains a very valuable piece on both sides of the pitch. Up next for him is Friday's home match against Elche.

Gonzalo Montiel - Exits injured Saturday Montiel was forced off in the sixth minute of Saturday's match against Osasuna with a likely muscular injury.

Impact Montiel has been a regular at right-back the last few months, but a muscle injury will likely keep him out multiple weeks. If that's the case, Jesus Corona could draw a few starts at full-back, though Jesus Navas has been edging closer to a return, as well.

Lucas Ocampos - Late scratch Saturday Ocampos was a late scratch for Saturday's match against Osasuna because of injury.

Impact Ocampos had gone a full 90 in the prior four matches, so his absence from the XI Saturday changed things a bit. Of course, Sevilla are plenty deep now with Anthony Martial in the squad and Ivan Rakitic came in for Ocampos on Saturday.

FEBRUARY 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ludwig Augustinsson - Back in squad Augustinsson (illness) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Osasuna.

Impact Augustinsson is available again after missing two matches prior to the break because of an illness. That being the case, he's been seldom-used this season as a starter and that won't change in the second half unless injuries brew up.

Jesus Navas - Spotted in training Navas (thigh) was shown in training during Wednesday's training session.

Impact Navas was spotted in training, participating in drills with the rest of the first team. The wing-back will hope to return to the starting XI in the near future. He has been sidelined since an injury picked up in early November. Navas will likely be eased back into playing time, not wanting to risk re-aggravating the thigh injury.
