Sevilla FC has started preparations for their next La Liga match against Valencia with a recovery session. Manager Luis García Plaza called the squad to the training ground on Tuesday following the effort made at Camp Nou. The draw against Espanyol left a feeling of a missed opportunity to gain two more points. Also, the Andalusian side had to play most of the second half with ten men. This Friday at 21:00, they will host Valencia at the Sánchez-Pizjuán Stadium for their third home match of the competition. The opponent arrives with many doubts and a disputed manager.
Luis García Plaza organised a gentle session focused on muscle recovery. "He has called his players to the training ground for a soft recovery session, after the effort his team had to make in Barcelona playing almost the entire second half with one less," the coach explained. The aim is for the players to be in optimal condition for a key fixture. The schedule is demanding, with Valencia facing a week that could include up to three league matches before the first break of the season.
One of the absences in Barcelona was Rubén Vargas, who was unavailable due to knee issues. The Swiss winger is expected to return to training in the coming days, which would be a significant boost for the attack. His return would be welcome for a team that has scored 7 goals and conceded 6 so far this season.
The clash against Valencia represents an opportunity to stays in the noble zone of the table, where Sevilla currently sits. With a record of 2 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss, and a recent form of DLWW, the team needs to consolidate their performance at home. A win would bring the team closer to the European spots and maintain pressure on the teams above. The next matchday, after the game on Friday, 11 September 2026, will mark the first break of the season.
The Sevilla FC squad will continue their specific preparation for the match throughout the week. The game is scheduled for Friday, 11 September 2026 at 21:00 at the Sánchez-Pizjuán Stadium.
