Sevilla FC plays its fourth pre-season friendly this Sunday against Ceuta (21:00) with two notable absences: Oso, due to a quadriceps contusion, and Andrés Castrín, who is still not at full fitness.
Sevilla FC faces its fourth pre-season friendly against Ceuta this Sunday, and it does so with two significant absences in its squad. Left-back Oso will miss the match due to a quadriceps contusion in his right leg, as reported by the Nervion club itself. Also unavailable is youth player Andrés Castrín, who, although he continues to accumulate training sessions, is still not at 100% in his recovery.
The match, which kicks off at 21:00, will allow coach Luis García Plaza to continue testing combinations and giving minutes to his players. The absence of Oso is the most significant, as the left-back had participated in previous friendlies against Cracovia and Córdoba. His injury, a muscle contusion, prevents him from being on the pitch this time, although the club expects it to be a short-term absence.
Meanwhile, Andrés Castrín, from Riotinto, continues his recovery process. In yesterday's session, he did partial work, just like Marcao, who is also recovering from a muscle edema. The Portuguese defender is gradually returning to training but is not yet ready to compete. The coaching staff prefers not to push and to manage the workloads to avoid relapses.
Who will be available is Kike Salas, although he will start from the bench. The youth player missed the friendly against Córdoba at El Arcángel due to minor quadriceps discomfort, but he is now recovered. The technical staff has opted for caution and will not take risks with him in a friendly match, so he will come on in the second half.
The starting eleven presented by Luis García Plaza consists of Odysseas; Carmona, Iglesias, Sangante, Suazo; Agoumé, Guridi, Miguel Sierra; Peque, Manuel Ángel, and Isaac. The Madrid coach still cannot field a complete starting eleven of first-team players due to injuries and the lack of reinforcements. His plan is for the starters to have around 70 minutes of play against Ceuta.
The friendly match takes place at the Ceuta stadium and is part of Sevilla FC's preparation for the upcoming season. The Nervion team aims to gain competitive rhythm and ensure their players acquire the necessary physical condition for the league start. The Sevilla fans are closely following the progress of the injured players, hoping they will be ready for official commitments.
The club has not provided specific timelines for the recovery of Oso or Castrín, but both are expected to reintegrate into the group in the coming days. In the meantime, the rest of the squad continues to work under García Plaza, who is using these friendlies to shape the starting team and rotations.
