Sevilla FC will play their second pre-season friendly against KS Cracovia in Poland this Sunday, July 19, to celebrate the 120th anniversary of the local club. The match, at 16:00, will be another test for Luis García Plaza's team.
Sevilla FC is already in Poland. The Nervión expedition travelled on Friday to face their second pre-season friendly, which will pit them against KS Cracovia this Sunday, July 19 at 16:00. The match is part of the celebrations for the 120th anniversary of the Polish club, who finished thirteenth in their last league.
After the victory against Juventud Torremolinos, coach Luis García Plaza wants to see more competitive minutes from his players. The main news in the squad is the absence of Akor Adams, who is negotiating his transfer to Venezia. Injured players Alfon, Castrín, Marcao, and Juanlu will also miss out, as well as those left out Rafa Mir, Federico Gattoni, Fábio Cardoso, and Joan Jordán.
The 24 chosen for the trip
The list of called-up players includes Odysseas, Carmona, Pedrosa, Kike Salas, Agoumé, Isaac, Peque, Sangante, Juan Iglesias, Suazo, Guridi, Ejuke, Manuel Ángel, Nico Guillén, Manu Bueno, Jesús Cruz, Miguel Sierra, Alberto Flores, Rafa Romero, Iker Muñoz, Mario Díaz, Oso, Ibra Sow, and Jesuly. Oso returns, having recovered from an ankle sprain, and Chidera Ejuke joins the squad.
On the other hand, Djibril Sow and Rubén Vargas are enjoying holidays after competing in the World Cup with Switzerland, while Nianzou remains in France resolving his future with Lille. The Sevilla expedition travels with 24 players, all of whom have the chance to get minutes at the Cracovia stadium.
A historic rival for a demanding test
KS Cracovia is one of the oldest clubs in Poland, with five league titles (the last in 1948) and a Polish Cup won in 2020. Their stadium, with a capacity of 15,000 spectators, will host this friendly match, which will help Sevilla continue to build momentum ahead of the official season start.
For Sevilla fans, the match can be followed live on Sevilla FC TV and the club's social media. It will be a good opportunity to see the first developments of the new signings and players like Ejuke, who returns to the squad after overcoming some discomfort.
The team will return to Sevilla on the same Sunday after the match to continue their preparations. The next friendly match is scheduled for the following week, with no confirmed opponent yet. Pre-season is progressing, and Luis García Plaza is shaping the starting eleven ahead of the league debut.
