Sevilla’s Suso suffers early injury in vital match against Espanyol
Sevilla faced disappointing news when one of their most influential players, Suso, left the game due to a leg issue around the 33rd minute. The issue appeared to be a puncture at the back of the upper leg, forcing him to withdraw from the field much sooner than expected. The setback comes at a challenging moment for the club as they prepare for a Europa League clash against Juventus under Mendilíbar’s leadership.
The Spaniard Lucas Ocampos stepped in to fill the void in Suso’s absence, trying to keep Sevilla’s attacking rhythm intact. At this stage, Sevilla has not released an official update detailing the severity of Suso’s problem or a precise timetable for his return, leaving supporters and analysts waiting for a medical assessment. The lack of a formal bulletin means the exact nature of the injury remains uncertain and could influence the team’s plans for upcoming fixtures.
In broader context, the injury adds to Sevilla’s recent injury concerns and could affect their approach in the Europa League, where they face a tough test against Juventus. The club will likely monitor Suso closely as medical staff determine the next steps, including whether the winger will require rest, rehabilitation, or a more extended layoff. Until more information surfaces, the focus shifts to how the squad adapts without a key creative contributor and how Mendilíbar navigates selection for an important continental fixture.
