Tanguy Nianzou - Returning from ban Nianzou is no longer banned and is an option moving forward.

Impact Nianzou served his one game out, ending his ban. He started in two straight games before the ban, but has only started in five of his nine appearances all season, more of a depth pick.

Joan Jordan - Back from ban Jordan is no longer banned and is an option moving forward.

Impact Jordon is back from his ban, leaving his set to play moving further. However, he has barely played this season, with only three appearances all season, unlikely to get much time, if any at all.

Gabriel Suazo - Suffers fifth yellow card Suazo is suspended for one match due to yellow card accumulation.

Impact Suazo will have to sit out a match following a yellow card Sunday, as he has earned a one-match ban. This will leave him out as they prepare to face Rayo Vallecano on March 8. He will then return against Barcelona on March 15, with Oso or Jose Angel Carmona likely to step in at left-back while Suazo is out.

Cesar Azpilicueta - Off injured Azpilicueta was forced off the field in the 20th minute of Sunday's match against Girona due to an apparent injury.

Impact Azpilicueta would play until the 73rd minute before finally needing a substitute, with the defender coming off with possible fatigue and what looked to be a cramp. This has been a tough run of play for the defender this season, a starter when fit, but having faced numerous injuries. The hope will be that this is only a cramp, potentially leading to a quick return.

Andres Castrin - On bench Castrin (quadriceps) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Betis.

Impact Castrin is missing no more time as he makes the team sheet Sunday, no surprise after his expected return following some training this week. He has gone unused quite a bit this season while earning starts here and there, mainly deployed as a depth option.

Gabriel Suazo - Starting immediately Suazo (ankle) is in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Betis.

Impact Suazo is back Sunday after some injury concerns, with the defender ready to go for the derby. He resumes a spot at left-back and should continue in that spot when fit, with 16 starts in 18 appearances this campaign.

Andres Castrin - Trains fully, should be back Castrin (quadriceps) trained fully this week with the team and should be an option for Sunday's Gran Derby against Real Betis, according to Zona Mixta.

Impact Castrin is back in full team training over the past few days and is trending toward being available for Sunday's Gran Derby against Real Betis. That's a major boost for Sevilla, as his return strengthens the depth in the back line and gives the coaching staff another viable defensive option. Even so, he's expected to slide back into a rotational role as he works his way fully into the mix moving forward.

Gabriel Suazo - Should play in derby Suazo (ankle) trained fully this week and should be an option for Sunday's Gran Derby against Real Betis, according to Zona Mixta.

Impact Suazo picked up an ankle knock in Sunday's win over Getafe, but it turned out to be a minor issue as he's already back in full team training and trending toward being available for Sunday's Gran Derby against Real Betis. The left wing-back has been a locked-in starter whenever fit since arriving from TeFeCe and should be in line to regain his usual role for that massive showdown.

Ruben Vargas - Aiming return against Vallecano Vargas (hamstring) was back in team training Friday and aiming to play some minute in next week's fixture against Rayo Vallecano, according to Zona Mixta.

Impact Vargas has been trending in the right direction in his recovery from the hamstring injury he suffered in January, as the attacking midfielder returned to full team training Friday and is targeting minutes against Rayo Vallecano next week. That is a major lift for Sevilla, given Vargas was a locked-in starter before the setback and handled set-piece duties, so his comeback should immediately sharpen the edge in the final third. In the meantime, newcomer Neal Maupay has stepped into an expanded role from the jump.

Ruben Vargas - Could return after derby Vargas (hamstring) is expected to return to training after the derby against Real Betis on Sunday, March 1, according to Zona Mixta.

Impact Vargas suffered a left hamstring injury in January, but it seems he's in the final stages of his recovery process. A return to training wouldn't mean an immediate return to action, though, and he's expected to need some time to get into shape before being able to return to competitive action.

Jose Carmona - Two shots Sunday Carmona registered two shots (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 1-0 victory versus Getafe.

Impact Carmona would appear off the bench once again Sunday, his second straight match off the bench after starting the season with 20 starts in 21 appearances. He would play 35 minutes, notching two shots, but with neither on target. He will hope to work back into a starting role, as he is a versatile option, starting at center-back, left-back and right-back this campaign.

Akor Adams - Bags assist Adams assisted once to go with two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-0 victory versus Getafe.

Impact Adams would come up with an assist on the lone goal of Sunday's outing, finding Djibril Sow in the 64th minute of the contest. This is his first goal contribution in three games, with his last coming as a goal. He sits just one shy of double-digit goal contributions this campaign, coming in 20 appearances (13 starts).

Djibril Sow - Nets lone goal of match Sow scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 1-0 win versus Getafe.

Impact Sow would find the back of the net Sunday to break the tie and earn his team three points, scoring in the 64th minute. He now has two straight outings with a goal, scoring against Alaves last time out as well. He is up to four goals this season, his only goal contributions in 21 appearances.

Odysseas Vlachodimos - Clean sheet against Getafe Vlachodimos had three saves and secured a clean sheet in Sunday's 1-0 victory versus Getafe.

Impact Vlachodimos would stop all three shots he faced on target Sunday, earning himself a clean sheet in the process. This breaks a long streak for the keeper, having gone eight straight games without a clean sheet. That said, he is up to four on the season in 21 appearances, facing Betis on March 1 in their next game.

Andres Castrin - Returns to partial training Castrin (quadriceps) trained partially with the team Monday, according to the club.

Impact Castrin returned to partial training and could be an option in the near future after missing the last three matches with a quadriceps injury. The defender had held a reserve role prior to his setback and is expected to reclaim that spot upon his return.

Gabriel Suazo - Suffers ankle injury Suazo was forced off at halftime of Sunday's 1-0 victory against Getafe following the bad ankle knock he suffered in the first half, according to Marca.

Impact Suazo took a heavy ankle knock in a tough challenge with Djene Dakonam, a play that resulted in a red card for the Getafe defender and ultimately forced the left wing-back to shut it down at halftime because the pain was too much to push through. He's set to undergo further evaluation in the coming days to determine the full extent of the injury, with the hope that he can recover in time for Sunday's derby against Real Betis. If he's unable to answer the bell, the squad will be counting on Oso (calf) to prove he is good to go, while Jose Angel Carmona remains a viable fallback option on that flank if needed.

Tanguy Nianzou - Suspended one game Nianzou will serve a one-match ban due to an accumulation of five yellow cards in the La Liga.

Impact Nianzou collected his fifth yellow card in La Liga action and will be suspended for Saturday's derby against Real Betis. The center-back has been a steady presence in the starting XI whenever healthy, logging consistent minutes along the back line, so his absence leaves a clear gap in the defensive setup. Cesar Azpilicueta is the leading candidate to slide into a more central role for that matchup as the team adjusts to the suspension.

Juanlu - Set for return Juanlu is no longer banned and is an option moving forward.

Impact Juanlu has served his one-game suspension after he received a straight red card, set to return against Betis on March 1. With 16 starts in 20 appearances this season, he is likely to assume a starting role again soon after his ban.

Adnan Januzaj - Back available Sunday Januzaj (hamstring) is back in contention for Sunday's clash against Getafe, coach Matias Almeyda said in the press conference, according to Zona Mixta. "He's improving little by l...

Impact Januzaj is set to be in the squad for Sunday's showdown against Getafe after getting back into full team training last week. The Belgian forward should see limited minutes off the bench as he works his way back into game shape, with the staff expected to manage his workload carefully. Given his recent injury history, the club will take a cautious approach to avoid another setback and ease him back into the rotation.

FEBRUARY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Adnan Januzaj - Trains with team Januzaj (hamstring) is training fully with the team this week and could be an option for Sunday's clash against Getafe, according to Zona Mixta.

Impact Januzaj got back on the training pitch last week, mixing in full sessions with partial work, but he now looks fully reintegrated and in line to rejoin the matchday squad for Sunday's clash against Getafe. That's a positive step forward, as he brings another layer of depth to the front line, even if he's still projected as more of a bench piece when the squad is at full strength.
