Fofana, Félix Correia and Stassin make García Plaza’s squad vs Espanyol

Sevilla have announced their squad for their visit to Espanyol at 21:00 tomorrow, with new faces stepping in. As MARCA reports, coach García Plaza includes Fofana, Félix Correia and Lucas Stassin among the 24 players called up, with the aim of bouncing back after last week’s defeat to Atlético de Madrid.

The manager also addressed the timing of the additions, saying, as MARCA quotes him: «I congratulate the club for signing Fofana». The outlet explains that the surprise signing is Fofana, arriving on loan from Milan to strengthen midfield, while the other two reinforcements came in during the final day of the transfer window: the Belgian Lucas Stassin and the Portuguese Félix Correia.

Market arrivals for matchday

Sevilla travel with almost the whole group, but MARCA lists two absences: Marcao and Rubén Vargas. Vargas is ruled out with knee discomfort; the report adds that he is dealing with external parameniscitis in his right knee, and that he is following a specific treatment plan.

The full squad is: Odysseas, Fran González, Sergio Recio, Iglesias, Carmona, Kike Salas, Iker Muñoz, Sangante, Castrín, Suazo, Julio Díaz, Agoumé, Guridi, Fofana, Manu Bueno, Kochorashvili, Félix, Miguel Sierra, Ejuke, Alfon, Peque, Isaac, Robbie Ure and Stassin.

For bettors and fans alike, the key question is how quickly the three newcomers make an impact from the start, right after Sevilla’s strong start of six wins from six and their need to return to winning ways.
