With injuries sharpening Sevilla’s challenge, Joan Jordán remains sidelined and Pape Gueye is not registered, leaving the Sevilla midfield lighter ahead of the clash at Old Trafford.
Sevilla is set to resume European action in the UEFA Europa League, a competition where changes have reshaped the squad since their last continental appearance. The Nervión club will tackle Manchester United in a two legged quarterfinal, now under the guidance of José Luis Mendilibar who took the helm recently.

The Basque coach has begun retooling Sevilla’s approach after a debut victory over Cadiz and a draw with Celta, a result that grew complicated following Pape Gueye early red card, a disciplinary hurdle that will keep him out of the Old Trafford leg as well as their league scheduling like Tecatito Corona.
Recomposing the center of the field
For Mendilibar the main task is reassembling the engine room, with Gueye unavailable and Jordán nursing Achilles tendinopathy. As a result, Fernando and veteran Ivan Rakitic are being called to shoulder the midfield spine. There may also be a tweak in goal with Bono pushing for a return after starting the first two matches, while Dmitrovic has been the starter favored previously.
Defensively Sevilla have found stability with Rekik and Marcao; several defensive options could reclaim starts, though Acuña is likely to continue on the left for now, as he faces a suspension in the forthcoming league match against Valencia.
