Sevilla faces a series of casualties that complicate its preparation for the next match against Real Madrid. Basque midfielder JonGuridi has been confirmed with an injury to the adductor longus in his right thigh, which will keep him out of action for at least two or three weeks. This news comes just after coach Luis García Plaza learned that MiguelSierra will have to undergo surgery to treat a shoulder dislocation, after a challenge by Manu Sánchez that left him off the field in the second half of the match against Levante.
Sierra, who had been one of the great revelations of the season and a regular player in García Plaza's lineups, will be sidelined for at least two and a half months. The injury will make him unavailable until 2027, according to the information provided by the club. For his part, IsaacRomero will also be affected, as he will have to serve a one-match ban after receiving a second yellow card in the match against Ciutat de València for behavior that caused the stands to intervene.
Sevilla is also forced to manage the absence of LucasStassin, who retired just before the game against Levante due to an injury similar to the one Guridi suffers. Stassin, who had worked with the group on Tuesday, has not yet fully recovered and his availability for the next match with Real Madrid remains uncertain.
With these casualties, coach Luis García Plaza will have to reorganize his squad before the match at the Santiago Bernabéu. The combination of injuries and suspensions reduces the number of available players, posing an additional challenge for the Andalusian team in their search for positive results in the final phase of the season. Sevilla will have to trust in the depth of its squad and the ability of its players to fill the affected positions while it awaits the recovery of its injured players.
