Ruben Vargas - Set for potential season debut Vargas (knee) will be included in Sevilla's squad for Monday's La Liga clash against Levante but is not fit enough to start and could make his season debut off the bench, according...

Impact Vargas is finally nearing his first competitive appearance of the 2026/27 season after recovering from a knee injury and returning to team training. The Swiss winger has yet to feature this campaign due to recurring fitness issues, and his workload will need to be carefully managed following his lengthy absence. Although he is not ready to start against Levante, he could receive limited minutes off the bench as he gradually rebuilds match fitness. Vargas contributed three goals and six assists across 24 La Liga appearances, including 20 starts, last season, and his return should eventually provide Sevilla with additional creativity and set-piece quality in attack.

Lucas Stassin - Ruled out against Levante Stassin (groin) has been ruled out for Monday's La Liga clash against Levante despite recently resuming training on grass, according to coach Luis Garcia.

Impact Stassin will miss his second consecutive La Liga match after failing to recover sufficiently from the groin injury that kept him out against Barcelona before the international break. The forward had recently resumed individual work on the pitch but has yet to return to full team training, leaving him unavailable for Monday's encounter. Stassin had started two consecutive league matches before his injury and has scored once this season. Robbie Ure and Isaac Romero remain the leading candidates to lead Sevilla's attack in his absence, while his availability for the following fixture will depend on further progress in his recovery.

Lucas Stassin - Resumes grass work ahead of Levante Stassin (groin) has returned to training on grass Thursday as he continues his recovery and has not been ruled out for Monday's clash against Levante, according to Deportes Sevilla...

Impact Stassin has taken another step forward in his recovery after spending recent sessions working away from the group, though he has yet to resume full team training. The forward missed the last league clash against Barcelona before the international break and remains uncertain for the upcoming matchup against Levante, with his progress over the next few days likely to determine his availability. Stassin had started two consecutive matches before his injury and has scored once this season, but his limited training workload makes a starting role unlikely even if he's cleared to feature. Robbie Ure and Isaac Romero remain the leading alternatives to spearhead Sevilla's attack if Stassin is unable to play.

Lucas Stassin - Yet to join team training Stassin (groin) has continued to work away from the group but is not completely ruled out for the match against Levante, Candela Vazquez of ABC Sevilla reports.

Impact Stassin is unlikely to start as he remains limited in training sessions, although he's aiming to reach full fitness in the coming days after missing the last La Liga contest versus Barcelona prior to the break. The forward had previously made two successive starts, but his only goal of the campaign came in a substitute appearance on Sept. 6. Robbie Ure and Isaac Romero are the main alternatives to lead the front line if Stassin sits out another match.

Gabriel Suazo - Captains Chile in win Suazo featured in two of Chile's three matches during the international break, totaling 139 minutes before captaining the side in a 2-0 win over Mexico.

Impact Suazo closed the international window with nearly a full match against Mexico after serving a suspension against the United States following his dismissal versus Canada. The enforced rest between his two appearances helped limit his overall workload despite the long-distance travel. Suazo remains firmly established as Sevilla's starting left-back, having completed all seven La Liga matches for 630 minutes this season, and should have sufficient recovery time before Monday's clash against Levante.

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.

Marcao - Suffers setback against Villa Marcao asked to be substituted and was forced off injured after 24 minutes of Friday's game against Aston Villa.

Impact Marcao's return has been interrupted after he lasted 24 minutes of his first start since recovering from an injury that ruled him out from the start of preseason. He had been included in the matchday squad for each of the last three fixtures without coming on, and the friendly was his first chance to log meaningful minutes. The club's medical update will determine how long he is unavailable.

OCTOBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Ruben Vargas - Not in squad for friendly Vargas has recovered from his knee injury but wasn't included in the squad to face Aston Villa in the Antonio Puerta Trophy on Friday.

Impact Sevilla are probably taking a cautious approach with Vargas, who has yet to play for the club this season. The Swiss international is on track to be an option for the resumption of LaLiga when Sevilla take on Levante on Monday, Oct. 12.

Lucas Stassin - Progressing in groin recovery Stassin (groin) continues to make progress in his recovery from a long-standing adductor injury, according to Diario de Sevilla.

Impact Stassin continues to work his way back from the groin problem that kept him out before the international break and prevented him from joining Belgium's U21 squad. He traveled to Brussels to undergo an assessment with the Belgian federation's medical staff but remains in recovery with Sevilla. With the club not returning to league action until Oct. 12 against Levante, Stassin has additional time to progress toward a return.

Ruben Vargas - Back with group Vargas (knee) is back in group training Tuesday and is trending toward being available for the Oct. 12 match at Levante.

Impact The Swiss international has struggled with injuries throughout the season and has yet to play for Sevilla in 2026/27, between recurrent fitness issues and a failed transfer to Olympiacos. He's back in training Tuesday, however, and with roughly two weeks before Sevilla's next competitive match, Vargas should be ready to make his long-awaited season debut after the international break comes to an end. He was a standout player for Sevilla in 2025/26, tallying three goals and six assists across 24 appearances (20 starts).

SEPTEMBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Gabriel Suazo - Racking up tackles in full role Suazo has started every game at left-back this season, maintaining his place in the side ahead of summer arrival Julio Diaz from Atletico Madrid.

Impact Suazo offers a clear two-way threat with nine chances created and 21 crosses, but his main impact has come through his defensive work. He has registered 20 tackles across seven league appearances, attempting at least three per game in his last four outings while adding four interceptions and 16 clearances.

SEPTEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Giorgi Kochorashvili - Won three tackles against Barcelona Kochorashvili made his second start in five appearances since joining Sevilla in the defeat to Barcelona and won three tackles.

Impact Giorgi Kochorashvili has been in and out of the starting lineup since his arrival, making two starts across five total appearances. His most recent start came in the defeat to Barcelona, where he delivered a strong defensive performance highlighted by three won tackles. With Lucien Agoume and Youssouf Fofana establishing themselves as fixtures in central midfield, the Georgian international will remain in direct competition with Jon Guridi and Isaac Romero for the remaining berth in the side.

SEPTEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Juan Iglesias - Locked into right back role Iglesias has started all seven league games at right back since joining from Getafe.

Impact Iglesias has settled into the Sevilla side quickly since arriving from Getafe and has been picked ahead of Jose Angel Carmona for every game so far, which looks like a clear shift in the pecking order on that flank. His defensive numbers back up the selection with 15 tackles alongside five interceptions and 24 clearances. He has chipped in at the other end too with a goal from four shots, and the team have made a far brighter start than the one they managed last season.

SEPTEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Isaac Romero - Relegated to secondary role Romero has been relegated to a secondary role so far in the 2026/27 Liga season and has started in just two of his six appearances.

Impact Romero started in the opener against Rayo and in the Sept. 11 match against Valencia, but he's been relegated to a bench role in the other matches since Robbie Ure has taken over the role of the starting forward. Romero has scored just one goal in 2026/27, so his performances haven't exactly helped his case, either.

SEPTEMBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Andres Castrin - Claims place in starting XI Castrin has started five of seven La Liga matches this season, establishing himself as a regular option in central defense.

Impact Castrin has secured a prominent role in the back line, regularly starting alongside either Kike Salas or Arouna Sangante. The center-back has recorded six tackles, six interceptions and 28 clearances across seven league appearances, highlighting his defensive involvement. His consistent run of starts suggests he should remain a regular part of the defensive rotation moving forward.

SEPTEMBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Jose Carmona - Serving as a depth option Carmona has been limited to 63 minutes across three appearances this season.

Impact Carmona has operated primarily as a depth option, with his limited workload leaving him on the fringes of the starting XI. His three appearances have amounted to only 63 minutes, indicating that most of his opportunities have come in a substitute role. He will likely remain dependent on rotation or absences to earn more substantial playing time.

SEPTEMBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Lucien Agoume - Established as midfield starter Agoume has established himself as a regular starter in midfield, featuring seven times this season.

Impact Agoume appears firmly established in the starting XI and has provided significant defensive production from midfield. He has recorded 21 tackles, 12 interceptions and 17 clearances across his seven appearances this season. His consistent involvement and defensive workload should keep him in a prominent role in the middle of the pitch.

SEPTEMBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Robbie Ure - Records two shots in loss Ure registered two shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 3-1 defeat to Barcelona.

Impact Ure led the line for Sevilla and played the entire match, though opportunities became increasingly scarce as Barcelona took control after halftime. He sent an effort wide from outside the box in the 23rd minute and finished with two shots overall while drawing three fouls. The striker generated just 0.06 xG as Sevilla managed seven total attempts compared to Barcelona's 24.

SEPTEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Odysseas Vlachodimos - Makes five saves in loss Vlachodimos recorded five saves and allowed three goals in Saturday's 3-1 loss to Barcelona.

Impact Vlachodimos faced sustained pressure as Barcelona finished with 24 shots and seven on target. He produced an impressive early stop against Lamine Yamal, but Raphinha beat him three times after Sevilla took the lead, scoring in the 22nd, 52nd and 69th minutes. The three goals ended a run of consecutive LaLiga clean sheets for Vlachodimos, who had shut out Valencia and Deportivo in his previous two appearances. The goalkeeper should remain Sevilla's No. 1 option between the posts when the league resumes after the international break.

SEPTEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Youssouf Fofana - Scores in loss to Barca Fofana scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 3-1 loss versus Barcelona.

Impact Fofana gave Sevilla a dream start in the 19th minute, meeting Felix Correia's cross with a close-range header that beat Dominik Livakovic and put the hosts ahead. He remained one of Sevilla's more influential players and nearly helped create another opening before halftime with a backheel that released Correia, though Rodri prevented the chance from developing. Fofana was eventually replaced by Alfon in the 79th minute when Sevilla needed a scoring punch late in the second half.

SEPTEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Felix Correa - Sets up opening goal Felix Correia assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-1 defeat against Barcelona.

Impact Correia created Sevilla's lone goal with an excellent delivery from the left in the 19th minute, finding Youssouf Fofana, who scored with a close-range header. He threatened again before halftime after Fofana's backheel released him into a dangerous position, but Rodri intervened with a goal-saving tackle. Correia was replaced by Chidera Ejuke in the 59th minute after helping Sevilla trouble Barcelona throughout the opening half. Correia should remain in the XI when LaLiga resumes after the break given how dangerous he looked in this match.

SEPTEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Lucas Stassin - Will see doctors during break Stassin (groin) was not called up by new Belgium coach Mark Van Bommel for this international window despite hoping for a recall, and will travel to Belgium to see doctors regardin...

Impact Stassin has not set himself a firm deadline to return to the national team, believing that strong performances at Sevilla will give him a real chance at a second call up. He had not played over the weekend due to the injury, and while he does not believe it to be too serious, his recovery will be monitored during the break as he continues working toward a return for the clash against Levante on Oct. 12.
