Preparation for the match

Sevilla faces Athletic in its second LaLiga fixture, and coach Luis García Plaza has stated that he needs to strengthen the squad before the transfer window closes on 1 September.

Squad selection decisions

The club has omitted Ruben Vargas from the squad because he is "very close to leaving" for Olympiacos, and has included Kochorashvili in the list to integrate with the group.

Market outlook

García Plaza said that "we need more players to face a league", and that he is not afraid to field any youth player to compete in the top flight. He cited Castrín, Oso, Nico Guillén and Miguel Sierra as examples. The coach also explained that there is no single position that needs reinforcement, but "many positions", and that resources are limited.

Commentary on competition

The coach spoke of the "chaos situation" in the competition, criticizing the scheduling differences between teams and the inability to use players who might leave. He added that the three points are worth the same in the early rounds as in the later ones.
