Thomas Delaney’s shot to the squad in San Mamés was worth three points for Sevilla and was the Dane’s first scorer since his arrival in Nervión. The previous time the former Borussia Dortmund player was almost a year ago, specifically on January 30 in the 3-1 win over Augsburg on the 19th day of the Bundesliga.
With Delaney, there are already 14 players on Lopetegui’s squad who have seen the door this season. Sevilla accumulate 32 goals between the League, the Champions League and the Copa del Rey and the responsibility for the goal could not be more distributed. In addition, we must add the condition of the long injury of the one who should have been the team’s top scorer: In Nesyri.
Of the members of the Sevilla first team, only the goalkeepers, Jesús Navas, Augustinsson, Koundé, Rekik, Gudelj, Óscar, Idrissi and Suso remain to be seen. And they all have some condition, be it injuries or not being registered in European competition. If the Sevilla defense works like clockwork, the attack does not want to be left behind.
