The eternal marathon of Papu Gómez, Acuña and Koundé

Papu Gómez, Acuña and Koundé are the Sevilla players who are still present with their national teams a few days before the return from work in Nervión. The Argentines are still alive in the Copa América and their journey aims to lengthen more days in anticipation of the good level shown in the tournament by the Albiceleste team. The same can happen with Koundé, who enjoyed his first start at the European Championship in France's duel against Portugal. The three pieces from Sevilla will extend their vacations to later join the preseason of the Nervionense team.

Sevilla's long season multiplied the wear and tear of these three players, who nevertheless proved to be in good physical condition to face these competitions. The campaign was highly conditioned by the tight schedule and in Nervión they hope that these players can be in perfect condition for the start of the new season, although they will be conditioned again by a later incorporation to the work of Julen Lopetegui. In the case of Papu Gómez, his arrival in the winter market took place under a particular context in which he was stopped longer due to the lack of confidence of his coach in Atalanta since he decided to leave. Acuña also went through a period of physical discomfort that took him away from some section of the hard course.

With Koundé the gaze is placed on his future. There will be offers in Nervión for the central and it is expected that this could condition the rest of Monchi's planning. The positive wink, in this sense, is that he will not be present at the Olympic Games with France and that would give Sevilla some air if the defender finally stays in Nervión. Lopetegui is aware of these players and the reinstatement deadlines will be the usual ones for the players who are present in these competitions during the summer.
