Lucas Stassin returns as Kochorashvili misses out for Bernabéu trip

Sevilla, led by Luis García Plaza, tackle LaLiga EA Sports matchday 9 at the Santiago Bernabéu with 23 players and one major boost: Lucas Stassin returns after getting over the physical problems that kept him out. The coach said: “To beat Madrid on their ground you have to play a perfect match.”

The Belgian forward is back following his absence since the game against Deportivo in Riazor. The squad also includes academy players Nico Guillén, Jesús Cruz and Rafa Romero, plus Fábio Cardoso.

Isaac Romero is also missing due to suspension (sent off at the Ciutat de València), along with the injured Jon Guridi, Marcao, Iker Muñoz and Miguel Sierra. The full party comprises Odysseas, Juan Iglesias, Julio Díaz, Kike Salas, Castrín, Agoumé, Alfon, Robbie Ure, Peque, Vargas, Sangante, Fran González, Manu Bueno, Cardoso, Suazo, Stassin, Félix, Ejuke, Carmona, Fofana, Nico Guillén, Jesús Cruz and Rafa Romero.
