Receives double yellow Marcao was shown a red card in the 68th minute of Saturday's match against Real Madrid.

Impact Marcao would receive a red card Saturday, shown a second yellow in the 68th minute after his first in the 37th minute. He will miss a match when the club resumes play on Jan. 4 against Levante, returning to face Celta Vigo on Jan. 12. This will force a change while he is out, with Kike Salas as a possible replacement alongside Cesar Azpilicueta if he can recover from injury.

Starts after injury Marcao (foot) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Real Madrid.

Impact Marcao was training this week and is likely to be an option, with the defender now immediately finding the starting XI. He is a regular starter in the defense and should remain in this role, only missing four starts all season when an option.

Trains, should be option Marcao (foot) is back in training and appears to be an option for Saturday's match against Real Madrid, according to manager Matias Almeyda, per Rocio Guevara of Marca.

Impact Marcao has been back in training this week after a bone overload the past few weeks, with the defender appearing to now be an option again. This is massive news for the Brazilian, as he started in eight straight games before the injury. The hope will be that he can return to that spot immediately, although they may be a bit more cautious and work him in off the bench.

Suffers bone overload in foot Marcao suffers from bone overload in his left foot and is ruled out for the time being, according to the club.

Impact Marcao was forced off at halftime in Sunday's derby defeat against Betis due to a bone overload in his left foot that will make him miss some time. There is no precise timeline for his return, but his absence will force a change in the starting XI since he has been a regular starter in central defense for Sevilla, with Kike Salas as the main available option to start while he is out.

Suffers twisted knee Marcao was forced off at halftime of Sunday's 2-0 derby defeat after suffering a twisted knee during the first half, according to Domingo Ortiz from Sphera Sports.

Impact Marcao suffered a twisted knee following a jump in the first half of Sunday's derby defeat and was forced off at the break. The defender has been replaced by Kike Salas, who is expected to see a greater role in the backline if the injury to Marcao proves to be serious.

DECEMBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in loss Marcao scored one goal on three shots (one on target) and had eight clearances in Monday's 2-1 loss versus Espanyol.

Impact Marcao scored his first goal of the season in the 86th minute to bring his team within one, but they were not able to find the equalizer. While goals and assists have been hard to come by for the defender, he has been elite with clearances, totalling 28 in his last five appearances.

NOVEMBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Starting again Marcao (ankle) is starting for Monday's trip to Espanyol.

Impact Marcao is back in the starting XI after overcoming an ankle issue. The international break gave him an extra two weeks to recover from the bruise, and he's straight back in the starting XI. Marcao should be a big part of the starting XI as long as he can stay fit.

NOVEMBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Finds squad list Marcao (ankle) is on the squad list for Monday's match against Espanyol.

Impact Marcao had suffered an injury over the break, but has recovered in the two weeks off, as the defender is now on the squad list. This should warrant the return of the defender to the starting XI, as he is a regular starter, possibly missing no time after the injury scare.

NOVEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers ankle contusion Marcao suffered an ankle contusion in recent days and is out for the time being, the club announced.

Impact Marcao suffered an ankle contusion in recent days and is a doubt for upcoming fixtures for Sevilla. The center-back will likely be assessed at the beginning of next week to know if he can feature in the clash against Espanyol on Nov. 24. Marcao has been a regular starter in the central defense recently which means that if he had to miss the game a change will have to be made in the backline, with Kike Salas as the main option to replace him.

NOVEMBER 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Back from suspension Marcao completed his one-game suspension and will be eligible to face Betis on Sunday.

Impact The defender missed the 1-1 draw against Athletic Club due to the suspension, but as one of the club's co-captains, Marcao should return to the starting lineup right away. He had started in the last three games in which he had been available for prior to the red card.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sent off late Marcao was sent off during second half stoppage time in Tuesday's 2-1 win over Valladolid.

Impact Marcao was shown a second yellow card and sent off during second half stoppage time. The defender just returned with a nose injury and now gets at least one match on the sideline due to suspension. Jose Angel Carmona will likely take over at center-back against Athletic Club on Sunday.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Tuesday Marcao (nose) is in the starting XI for Tuesday's match against Valladolid.

Impact Marcao is back with the team after exiting the club's last match early, missing one match due to his nose injury. He started in the two matches before his injury and looks to be taking control of a starting spot in the center of the defense, so expect him to likely continue as a regular starter.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Marcos (nose) will not be an option for Friday's trip to Alaves, per manager Garcia Pimienta.

Impact Marcao had to leave Tuesday's match early with a nose injury, resulting in him missing the trip Friday. He's started twice in four appearances to open up the season, totaling 10 clearances and six tackles. His absence means that Jose Angel Carmona will likely drop back to center back, with Jesus Navas also moving to left back for the clash with Alaves.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Leaves early injured in win Marcao was subbed off due to injury in the 80th minute of Saturday's 1-0 win over Getafe. He recorded three tackles (one won) and four clearances before exiting the match.

Impact Marcao had a good defensive outing, leading Sevilla in tackles and making the second-most clearances. But the centerback left the pitch in the 80th minute with an undisclosed injury. He will likely be replaced by Kike Sales if not cleared to play.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back in training Marcao (thigh) was spotted in training ahead Monday's clash with Almeria.

Impact Marcao is making his way back from a thigh injury that forced him to the sideline for four matches. He has a chance to return for Monday's clash with Almeria, where he would likely be on the bench. Prior to the injury Marcao had started two matches in a row, while appearing in five straight.

MARCH 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Injured against Rayo Marcao suffered a right thigh injury versus Rayo Vallecano on Monday.

Impact Marcao once again finds himself on the sidelines due to injury after having previously missed the first four months of the campaign due to multiple injuries. Fantasy players should probably be expecting the central defender to miss at least a month due to this latest ailment. Prior to his absence, Marcao had featured in the starting XI in three of his last four contests, registering seven clearances, six blocks and seven tackles (five won).

FEBRUARY 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Strong defensive display Marcao generated three tackles (two won) and one interception in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Osasuna.

Impact Marcao gave an impressive effort as he picked up his second start in the last three games. He is up to a total of five tackles won, two interceptions and five fouls drawn over the three games, including over 20 passes completed in each. Marcao is likely to continue to see a significant role as he works his way back into rhythm.

JANUARY 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Returning to team Marcao (groin) is expected to be an option for Saturday's match versus Getafe, according to manager Diego Alonso.

Impact Marcao will look to make his season debut Saturday after missing the last six months with a groin injury. He has maintained a limited role for the team since last season as the defender will likely remain a depth option until he can consistently play in full form.

DECEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Left out for Celta match Marcao (groin) is not in the preliminary squad for Saturday's match against Celta.

Impact Marcao will be unavailable for another match as he continues his recovery. The defender started training individually over a month ago and should be set for a return soon. With two matches to go until the international break, there is a chance the Brazilian gets a nod in one of those matches, however, they may keep him out to ensure he is 100 percent with another week of rest.

NOVEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Won't face Cadiz Marcao won't play Saturday at Cadiz due to a knock that has been bothering him of late, manager Diego Alonso told media Friday. "Marcao has been struggling a bit over the past week...

Impact Alonso also said Marcao is training but not with the group yet, effectively ruling him out of Saturday's matchup. However, it sounds like he might return to action sooner rather than later. The defender has yet to make his debut in 2023/24, originally due to a muscular issue but now due to this apparent knock. His next chance to play would come next week against Celta Vigo.

OCTOBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not called up Marcao wasn't called up for Saturday's clash with Real Madrid.

Impact Marcao has yet to make his debut in 2023/24, originally due to a muscular issue. He is reportedly fully fit now, so it's unclear if he simply has been deemed surplus to requirements, or if he is perhaps lacking match fitness. Either way the returning Tanguy Nianzou (strain) was called up, and could see time in the starting XI.

OCTOBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Available against Rayo Vallecano Marcao (strain) will be in contention versus Rayo Vallecano on Saturday after manager Jose Luis Mendilibar told reports, "Marcao and Nianzou are available to enter this call."

Impact If Marcao gets onto the pitch, it would be his first appearance for the club this season after being sidelined due to his muscular injury. The defender was plagued by injuries last season, logging a mere 11 matches across La Liga and European competition. At this point, Marcao will likely have to prove he can stay healthy off the bench first.

OCTOBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Wednesday Marcao (strain) will not be an option to face Lens on Wednesday and is still two weeks out from returning. Manager Jose Luis Mendilibar told reporters, "With Marcao we are going sl...

Impact Based on the manager's timeline, Marcao will miss at least the club's next four contests due to his muscular injury. Injuries limited the defender to just 11 appearances (nine starts) across La Liga and European competition last season in which he recorded just one shot (off target), to go with 24 clearances, eight interceptions and seven blocks. Given his extended absence, Marcao may have to settle for a spot on the bench once ready to play.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Training with ball Marcao (strain) was viewed back in training on Monday, ahead of Wednesday's clash against Lens.

Impact Marcao was pictured training with the ball at Monday's practice session. This is the first time we have seen the Brazilian in action this season after missing all four of Sevilla's opening matches. With him just returning to training, there is a good chance he won't be available for Wednesday's UCL group stage match, but he could be a part of the squad next Saturday against Osasuna if his healing goes according to plan.
