The player suffered a blow against Getafe, and Senegalese doctors have decided to release him to return to Sevilla’s fold.
The FIFA virus continues to stalk Sevilla. During this March break, Bryan Gil picked up an injury with the Spanish national team, and now the focus shifts to Pape Gueye, the midfielder who returns from the Senegal squad with discomfort.
Pape Gueye, injured: what he has, how long he will be out, and what matches he will miss for Sevilla
The Sevilla midfielder picked up a knock in the final La Liga round with Getafe. After medical checks carried out during Senegal’s training camp, it was concluded that he cannot play for his country at this time and will head back to Seville for assessment by his club’s medical team.
The Sevilla FC midfielder had to cut short his stay with the Senegal squad due to physical problems, as announced by Gueye himself on social media. He sustained a blow in last Sunday’s match at Getafe and will not be able to join his national team this window, having traveled and had his condition reviewed by Senegalese doctors, according to Sevilla’s official channel.
Gueye himself explained his situation on social networks: responsibility to his team remains, noting that the impact of the injury from the recent game against Sevilla and the results of yesterday’s tests led to his withdrawal from these two important matches. He stated he would support the Lions from the stands as they chase two wins.
Now Gueye has returned to Seville and the club’s medical service will determine the extent of the issue and when he could be available again for his coach, José Luis Mendilibar.
How long will he be out and what matches will he miss for Sevilla?
With details still pending, Gueye is set to miss the Senegal national team’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifying fixtures against Mozambique. There remains a window for him to recover in time for Sevilla’s next game, which is scheduled for Saturday, April 1, at Cádiz. Following that, Sevilla will host Celta on the 7th, and the timing will depend on his rehabilitation progress.
Update: the information above reflects the latest assessment as Sevilla coordinates with medical staff on Gueye’s return. The club will provide further details as evaluations continue and a clearer timeline emerges.
