Sangante misses group training with a right ankle sprain

Sevilla has taken a hit in training this week: Sangante left the session at the club’s training ground after feeling pain in his ankle. The club confirmed, as reported by MARCA, that the Senegalese centre-back missed group work with a right ankle sprain picked up in last Sunday’s match against Espanyol.

Out of the group session

The setback complicates the team’s immediate plans. The report adds that, beyond this new ankle issue, he was already unavailable for García Plaza’s squad for the next league match against Valencia at Nervión due to the controversial sending-off he received in Cornellà.

Vargas also sidelined

Rubén Vargas is another name affected at the moment. The winger has continued discomfort in his knee and has not trained with the group either. Sevilla’s expectation, according to MARCA, is that during the week both cases may be able to rejoin team training.

On the sporting side, the club wants to build on the point earned on their last away trip and return to winning ways at home. The Valencia side arrives after conceding a heavy defeat to Barcelona and with the note that they have not yet recorded a win in the league (one draw and three losses), as described by MARCA.
