Sevilla Availability

Sevilla have two confirmed absentees. Manu Bueno (Knee Injury) is sidelined. Marcão (Wrist Injury) is sidelined.

Ejuke also contributes 10 goals, preserving Sevilla’s main scoring outlets.

Real Madrid Availability

Real Madrid face a heavier list of concerns. Dani Ceballos (Coach’s decision) is sidelined. Éder Militão (Muscle Injury) is sidelined. A. Güler (Muscle Injury) is sidelined, a major blow given his 9 assists. F. Mendy (Muscle Injury) is sidelined. Rodrygo (Knee Injury) is sidelined. In addition, A. Lunin (Illness) is doubtful. F. Valverde (Head Injury) is doubtful; his 8 assists make his potential absence another major blow.

Impact Summary

Sevilla lose no primary scorers, so their attacking output of 46 league goals remains largely intact. Real Madrid, who have scored 72 goals, must compensate for the creative loss of A. Güler and possibly F. Valverde, increasing the burden on top scorers Kylian Mbappé (24 goals) and Vinícius Júnior (15 goals).
