Alfon González out for the season with cruciate ligament tear
Operated on after rupturing the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. Meanwhile, Peque rejoins the group and could be ready for the derby on Saturday 21.
Sevilla FC have confirmed that Alfon González will miss the entire season after undergoing surgery for a cruciate ligament rupture in his right knee. According to ABC, the injury was made official at the club's training ground, following the damage he suffered in Thursday's session.
The setback further weakens a squad already without Miguel Sierra and Marcao. Peque has returned to training with the group and is expected to be available to Luis García Plaza for the derby against Real Betis on Saturday 21 at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán.
The session was dominated by academy players, who filled the gaps left by seven internationals on international duty. Fofana and Isaac Romero attended the coach's pre-training talk but then trained individually. The squad returns to the pitch Saturday morning, Sunday is a rest day, and a week of specific preparation follows.
