Adnan Januzaj - Trains ahead of Sunday Januzaj (undisclosed) was viewed in training ahead of Sunday's match against Rayo Vallecano.
Impact Juanzaj looks to be an option again after an early exit from the club's last contest, as the attacker was viewed in team training Friday. That said, he will likely face some more testing to decide if he is fit enough for play. He has only started in one of his three appearances this season, likely to earn a bench spot if fit Sunday despite starting in their last match.

Impact Vlachodimos conceded two goals Tuesday, including a late strike by Manor Solomon which gave Villarreal the midweek victory. It marked Vlachodimos' second straight start over Orjan Nyland, but who will start going forward remains a question as neither keeper has been particularly impressive thus far.

Tanguy Nianzou - Suffers injury again Nianzou (undisclosed) suffered a muscle injury once again in Tuesday's 2-1 defeat against Villarreal, leaving his teammates one man down for 20 minutes since all substitutions were...
Impact Nianzou is struggling to keep himself fit as he suffered a new muscular injury in Tuesday's defeat against Villarreal and had to leave his teammates one man down for 20 minutes. This is a big blow for the defender since he was in the starting squad in the two games prior to this new setback and coach Matias Almeyda seemed to count on him. That said, his absence will need to be replaced once again in the back-three, with Marcao in good position to take a larger role in the backline for the Sevillians.

Adnan Januzaj - Off with injury Januzaj went off with an apparent injury during Tuesday's clash with Villarreal.
Impact Januzaj came off during his first start of the season just before an hour. The winger has struggled for minutes, and is mostly going to play during cups and mid-week matches. Ruben Vargas came on to replace him, and should be in line for the start during Sunday's trip to Rayo Vallecano.

Ramon Martinez Gil - Available for selection Martinez (hamstring) is no longer injured and is available for selection but faces competition in the backline, coach Matias Almeyda said in the press conference.
Impact Martinez is fit and available for coach Matias Almeyda but has not made the squad in recent games due to competition in the backline. The coach appears to still consider him but with the recent emergence of Andres Castrin, Martinez will need to compete to secure minutes for Sevilla moving forward.

Impact Sanchez entered in the 14th minute for the injured Alfon and netted the decisive goal in the 67th minute with a right-footed finish from the center of the box. The veteran contributed with his natural grinta while recording one shot, three crosses, and two corners. The goal was his first with Sevilla and his second contribution in two appearances off the bench. This performance will likely convince coach Matias Almeyda to make him a regular starter in the frontline for the upcoming fixtures.

Impact Vlachodimos made four saves and conceded only from Carlos Vicente's 17th minute penalty as Sevilla won its second away game in a row in Saturday's clash against Alaves in Vitoria-Gasteiz. He was decisive as he denied a late Facundo Garces header in stoppage time and showed he could become the starting goalkeeper ahead of Orjan Nyland under coach Matias Almeyda. This game marked his first start in La Liga this season and he could start again against Villarreal on Tuesday which would confirm he has taken over the spot between the posts.

Impact Alfon departed the game in the early stages and was subbed off by Alexis Sanchez, who ended up scoring the game-winning goal. Gonzalez will have to undergo tests to see whether he'll be available to face Villarreal on Tuesday, though the quick turnaround suggests his chances of playing are slim.
SEPTEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE
Chidera Ejuke - Option off bench Ejuke (hamstring) is on the bench for Saturday's game against Alaves.
Impact Ejuke is available off the bench after leaving his injury issues in the rearview. The winger will be an option in case Sevilla need extra pace in the attacking third.
SEPTEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE
Akor Adams - Available off bench Adams (thigh) is on the bench for Saturday's game against Alaves.
Impact As expected after overcoming an injury and making the squad list, Adams will be an option off the bench for Sevilla. Isaac Romero will be the starter upfront, though.

Ruben Vargas - Starting vs. Alaves Vargas (undisclosed) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Alaves.
Impact Vargas was forced off in the last match, but it seems he wasn't dealing with any injury. The Swiss playmaker will remain in the final third and operate as one of the team's most consistent threats in the final third.
