Impact Adams put his only attempt over the goal and was caught offside three times in 90 minutes of play at Mestalla. He was unable to get involved in a goal for the seventh consecutive game despite taking 11 shots (six on target) and generating two scoring chances during that period. Given his current form, his spot in the front line will be at risk when Isaac Romero returns from suspension.

Juanlu - Doesn't train Friday Juanlu (groin) didn't train Friday and is doubtful to play Sunday against Valencia.

Impact The defender suffered the injury against Extremadura in the Copa del Rey earlier this week. The fact that he was unable to train Friday suggests his chances of playing against Valencia are slim to none. If that's the case, Oso could be in line to take his place in the XI.

Juanlu - Suffers adductor injury Juanlu was forced off in the 34th minute of Thursday's 2-1 victory against Extremadura in the Copa del Rey due to an apparent adductor injury.

Impact Juanlu couldn't continue the game after suffering an apparent adductor injury and being forced off in the first half of Thursday's win against Extremadura in the Copa del Rey. This is a blow for Sevilla since they already have a lot of injuries in the backline, and having Juanlu sidelined would be problematic for coach Matias Almeyda as the options will be limited. Oso could be an option to consider if Juanlu had to miss Sunday's game against Valencia.

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.

Odysseas Vlachodimos - Two saves for loss Vlachodimos made two saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-0 loss versus Betis.

Impact Vlachodimos stopped two of the four shots he faced during Sunday's loss. The goalkeeper didn't have much to do, as the match was largely cagey, but he couldn't step up during his limited action. Vlachodimos should have more manageable matches against teams who aren't competing at the top of the table.

Impact Adams sent a pair of shots on net during Sunday's loss and put one on target, but couldn't find the back of the net. The striker got limited service from the attack around him and the midfield, and struggled to do much. Adams will need to make the most of some very limited service in most matches domestically.
