Good news for Julen Lopetegui has brought training this Tuesday, penultimate already before the appointment of the Sevilla against Granada, brought forward to Friday at the Sánchez Pizjuán (9:00 p.m.). The Argentine Alexander ‘Papu’ Gómez He has taken another step and has trained normally for the first time with the rest of his teammates, so he aims to be available for this duel against the rojiblancos.
Papu Gómez suffered a muscle injury in the last derby, a game that Sevilla won in Nervión against Betis on February 27. Since then Lopetegui’s team has not won again in the League, which explains the dependence that the Andalusian team has in attack on the Albiceleste international, a player who had managed to find the formula to unclog many games through his ability to move between the lines, break with his arrival and take advantage of his shot from medium and long distance.
Since Papu’s injury at Sevilla-Betis on matchday twenty-seven, Lopetegui’s team, which won that match 2-0 and showing great superiority in the first half, has not won the league championship, in which He has linked three draws, against Alavés (0-0), Rayo Vallecano (1-1) and Real Sociedad (0-0), and a defeat this Sunday against Barcelona at the Camp Nou (1-0).
The return of Papu Gómez is a relief for the coaching staff in the midst of a terrifying plague of injuries in the Sevilla squad. Fernando, Delaney, Susu and Acuña are still out of the dynamics of the team and in the last match against Barcelona Diego Carlos and Rekik returned after approximately a month, although the Dutchman ended up with discomfort and had to ask for the change, so he joins to the doubts in the face of the appointment against Granada this Friday.
