He Seville He has a golden opportunity this Thursday to salvage a doomed sports season due to his League debacle, something that seems to be on the mend Jose Luis Mendilibarwho in three league games added 7 points to the Andalusian team from a possible 9 and would have signed a plenary session if not for the final rest against Celta, who tied 2-0 with a discount.
The Nervionenses host Manchester United in the second leg of the Europa League quarterfinals and what looked like it would be an impossible tie, somehow turned out to be favorable for Mendilibar’s men. At Old Trafford after 20 minutes, Sevilla were 2-0 down and there were signs of conceding a shock victory, but everything turned in their favor in the final minutes, when Sevilla equalized with two rebound goals from Malacia and Maguire and the English team were left with one less man due to a serious injury suffered by Lisandro Martínez.
And there, Sevilla has another trick, because the list of casualties and players with physical problems in Erik ten Hag’s team is extensive, starting with his great star Marcus Rashford, author of 15 goals this season in the Premier alone (he has 28 in total) and he injured his adductor on Sunday before hosting Sevilla, against Everton. It looks like he won’t be able to play in the second leg in Nervión, with Lisandro Martínez out, of course, but also Shaw, McTominay, Malacia, Van de Beek, Jones, Varane, Garnacho and Bruno Fernandes, who saw a card against to the Andalusians who would prevent him from playing at Sánchez Pizjuán.
They could also be joined by the Austrian Marcel Sabitzer, author of two goals for Manchester in the first leg, who fell in the last moments of the eleven in this Sunday’s game against Nottingham Forest which the red devils won 0 – 2. Sabitzer was injured in the warm-up, as reported by Manchester United themselves, and his place was taken by the Swede Eriksen.
So, although the squad of the English team is impressive and any player can make up for any casualty, the situation turned out to be more favorable for Sevilla, who also after a 0-2 win at Mestalla left relegation on 8 points and, even. unable to rest, he can focus more efforts on the Europa League.
