Almeida recovers squad and prepares for match against Mallorca

Matias Almeida The Sevilla manager is already preparing for this Saturday’s match against Mallorca, when league play resumes after the break in international competition, and he is also preparing for the return of the national team. Already on Tuesday this week, the Argentine coach was able to include Odyseas Brachodimos in the group, and on Sunday he returned to the goal of Greece, who missed out on the World Cup after losing against Denmark.

The German goalkeeper has performed at a very high level for Sevilla and is a key figure in Almeida’s plans. Along with Chile’s Gabriel Suazo, he was one of the first players to return after Greece lost twice to Scotland and Denmark. The left-back only played this time in the friendly against Peru, which La Roja won and was captain of. Suazo was already in action with the group on Monday this week and was the first to arrive in Seville, unlike on the previous break, when he was unable to start against Elche due to a delay in joining due to the match in Chile and the long journey from the other side of the sea.

Switzerland’s Djibril So and Ruben Vargas, Serbia’s Nemanja Guderi, Norway’s Orjan Nyland and Nigeria’s Akol Adams have yet to return to the capital Seville.

Meanwhile, Tanguy Nianzou and Alfon González continue to work outside the group and aim to recover. Meanwhile, Joan Jordao and Adnan Januzaj took part in the production directed by Almeida this Tuesday. The center fielder is the only outfielder to make his debut under the new manager after overcoming a slipped disc surgery he underwent this summer. The Belgian winger suffered a severe sprain in his ankle during the league break and was forced to play in the match against Barcelona with the injury still recovering.
