García Plaza prepares the derby without six Sevilla internationals
Six Sevilla players leave for their national teams during the November break, so García Plaza must prepare the Betis derby without them.
Six Sevilla FC players head off to join their national teams during the break: Rubén Vargas, Vachodimos, Gabriel Suazo, Giorgi Kochorashvili, Robbie Ure and Nico Guillén. According to ABC, they will not return until well into the week of the derby, so Luis García Plaza has two full weeks to prepare the clash with Betis without them.
Peque, Miguel Sierra and Marcao are also injured. The coach will have to dip into the youth ranks until the rest return. The big question is how to unlock the goal: against Alavés, the strikers' lack of finishing was decisive, and chance creation has dropped since Sierra's injury.
Betis go into the break in fourth place after their eighth win of the season, while Sevilla are sixth. García Plaza has lost four of the 14 matches he has played against the Verdiblancos.
