Oso departs: Sevilla train without their full-back

Sevilla finished their final training session before taking on Atlético Madrid in LaLiga’s third matchday, and the big takeaway was straightforward: Oso was the only player missing from the pitch. As reported by MARCA, the Alicante full-back is currently in France to wrap up his move to Stade Brest/Strasbourg’s (Estrasburgo/Estrasburgo) — a deal valued at €10 million.

“I'm a bit sad about what Sevilla means to me, but excited about this new project,” the player said at the airport, according to the same source.

The training-ground absence matches the stage of the operation: MARCA states Oso is traveling to close his transfer after the club agreed the figure and advanced the process.

Vargas trains apart

The session also highlighted Rubén Vargas. He joined his teammates’ session but worked separately on the exercise bike while Sevilla handle the final details of an outgoing transfer.

Meanwhile, Luis García Plaza kept a close eye on Giorgi Kochorashvili during the session. The Georgian midfielder, MARCA adds, has already traveled to San Mamés and could make his debut this weekend.

Before heading to the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán, Sevilla held a tribute to Antonio Puerta at the José Ramón Cisneros Palacios training ground on the 19th anniversary of his passing, with the first team gathered near Puerta’s statue and José María del Nido Carrasco in attendance.

Matchday build-up

Luis García Plaza will speak to the media at 12:00 at the Sánchez-Pizjuán press room. Sevilla host Atlético on Saturday at 21:30, with the squad sharpening things up ahead of kickoff.
