The Seville start receiving internationals after the day FIFA with special discomfort for the situation experienced by Jules Koundé, who after leaving something touched with the selection Under 21 from France He has played three complete games with the Galo team that add to an already very important load of games.
Kooundé He is one of the players who has accumulated the most games on his legs at Sevilla and even Lopetegui revealed that he played injured in Dortmund in the second leg of the Champions League round of 16. Later, his coach gave him a break in the Elche game before joining the national team that plays the first phase of the European Under-21.
But the player returns to Seville these days after having played three full games with France, which has caused some discomfort in the coaching staff, where Lopetegui has been complaining all year about the overload of encounters suffered by footballers and that in the majority of cases do not keep the pertinent 72 hours of rest between games.
Koundé has played more than 270 minutes in less than 10 days playing the full games against Denmark, Russia and Iceland and now Sevilla will have to assess their physical condition when they return for the important match that the Nervionians have against Atlético de Madrid this Sunday.
One of the consequences of the pandemic is that FIFA has now scheduled days of three matches for the teams in each break instead of two to lighten the calendar, but although many teams distribute the minutes, in some cases there are players who return to their clubs with 3 complete games played in just over 7 days.
Sevilla has started to receive internationals and this Wednesday the Moroccans Bono and Munir trained.
