ANDhe Seville continues with its problems of available troops, like every week. The good news overlaps with other less pleasant. Julen Lopetegui, in the first training session of the week, was able to count on Lucas Ocampos, who has exercised at the same pace as his peers.
The Argentinian he could not play in Pamplona due to discomfort during the warm-up and was booked against Elche. Looking ahead to the start of Sevilla’s participation in the Europa League, he has been seen touching the ball without any problem. An important discharge seeing the rest of the absences.
Because if Ocampos was the good news, the negative is multiplied by up to three. The two new signings, Martial and Tecatito Corona, in addition to Rakitic, did not appear on the pitch at the Ciudad Deportiva Nervionense and it will be necessary to see if they can reach the commitment on Thursday against Dinamo Zagreb, depending on whether they suffer physical discomfort or if they have been visited by the Covid-19, who has claimed numerous casualties in Seville throughout this 2022. Lopetegui will have to spin fine by having two games in less than 72 hoursyes, if these casualties are confirmed.
One of the problems of the season in the Andalusian team is the Difficulty performing rotations. Some players have had to carry the weight of the team in months when the number of professionals in the first team was 13 or 14. With the return of Jesús Navas, Lopetegui will at least not have to rebuild part of his defense.
Looking ahead to the weekend, With the visit to Espanyol and with the confirmed loss of Marcos Acuña due to suspension, he will have to make other moves. Sevilla is already looking at Europe. With some joy, but new worries.
