Sevilla FC has announced a 24‑player squad to face Córdoba CF in the IV Trofeo Puertas de Córdoba, scheduled for tonight at 21:00 at Nuevo Arcángel. Manager Luis García Plaza taps the academy, adding Francisco Lociga, Sergio Martínez and Jorge Moreno to complete the roster.
Who is missing from the list?
The most notable absentee is Kike Salas, who stays behind due to a slight quadriceps issue. Also out with injuries are Alfonso González, Juanlu Sánchez and Marcão. By tactical choice, the coach has left out Rafa Mir, Adrià Pedrosa, Joan Jordán, Fábio Cardoso, Chidera Ejuke, Federico Gattoni and Andrés Castrín. Rubén Vargas and Djibril Söw remain on vacation.
Which youngsters join the group?
Beyond the three academy players, the list includes Mario Díaz, Nico Guillén, Miguel Sierra, Jesús Cruz, Manuel Ángel Castillo and Jesuly Acuña. Up front, Isaac Romero, Peque and Ibrahima Sow add fresh options for the manager.
Why does this call‑up matter?
Relying on the academy shows García Plaza’s confidence in homegrown talent and lets the club assess prospects before the next transfer window. The influx of young players also eases the workload of senior squad members who have been busy in La Liga and the Copa del Rey.
What’s next for Sevilla?
After the match, the coaching staff will review the youngsters’ performances and decide who can join the first team. Gaining experience at Nuevo Arcángel will be crucial for their growth, and the outcome of this fixture could shape the squad planning for upcoming La Liga and Europa League commitments.
