Marcao - Out with thigh injury Marcao suffered a myofascial injury to the rectus femoris of his right quadriceps in Friday's friendly against Aston Villa, and his recovery will depend on how the injury evolves,...

Impact Marcao faces an estimated three to eight weeks out after the club confirmed a myofascial injury to his right rectus femoris, without giving a timeline. The problem ended his first appearance since Dec. 20, 2025 after 25 minutes, and it rules him out of the Levante and Real Madrid fixtures at a minimum. He has not featured this season and sits behind Andres Castrin, Arouna Sangante and Kike Salas in the centre-back pecking order, so coach Luis Garcia's selection plans are largely unaffected.

Marcao - Suffers another setback Marcao (undisclosed) was forced off midway through the first half of Friday's Antonio Puerta Trophy friendly against Aston Villa with a possible muscular injury, visibly devastated...

Impact Marcao was making his first start since December 2025, pairing with Andres Castrin in central defense and had defended well against crosses from Emiliano Buendia and Alejandro Garnacho before the setback forced Juan Iglesias on in his place. The Brazilian has now spent 589 days sidelined since joining Sevilla in July 2022, having battled over a dozen different medical issues including a scaphoid fracture and a hip flexor tear, and has managed just 49 official appearances in four and a half years with the club, with this latest blow pushing his absence closer to two full years.

Pau Torres - Returns from hamstring injury Torres (hamstring) returned from his injury as a halftime substitute in Aston Villa's Antonio Puerta Trophy win over Sevilla

Impact Torres looks set to end his spell on the sidelines after making his return from a hamstring injury against Nottingham Forest last month. The Spanish centre-back logged 45 minutes in Aston Villa's Antonio Puerta Trophy fixture, giving him a full half of match action under his belt. Tyrone Mings deputised admirably during his absence, but Torres now has an extended training block ahead to build up his sharpness. He remains in a strong position to reclaim his starting spot in central defense when Premier League action resumes against Brentford.

Alejandro Garnacho - Scores in win over Sevilla Garnacho put in a lively display and capped it with a goal as Villa came from behind to beat Sevilla in the Antonio Puerta Trophy on Friday.

Impact Garnacho scored his second goal for Villa in the win over Sevilla, a week after he got off the mark with the only goal of a behind closed doors friendly against Southampton, though he is still waiting on his first in competitive action. The winger has slipped down the pecking order and was an unused substitute in the last four games with several players ahead of him, but he put in a lively display in Spain and turned home a cross at the back post. coach Unai Emery has said Garnacho needs to keep working and make the most of whatever minutes come his way, and a performance like this could give him a timely lift.

The friendly provides an opportunity for the goalkeeper to test his fitness and rebuild sharpness ahead of the resumption of competitive action. Bizot remains the backup to Zion Suzuki, who has been manager Unai Emery's preferred goalkeeper in the Premier League and Champions League.
