The main confirmed absence is that of Lucas Stassin. Luis García explained that the forward felt discomfort after the last match and will not be available for the game against Barcelona. That said, the coach sounded relatively optimistic about his recovery: "I think he will make it to Levante, but he will be there". Therefore, the injury does not appear to be particularly serious and Stassin could return as early as the next matchday.

Isaac Romero and Robbie Ure gain options

With Stassin out, Luis García again specifically mentioned Isaac Romero and Robbie Ure. The manager pointed out that he has trusted both of them during this period. Stassin's absence reduces direct competition in attack and opens the door for Isaac and Ure to have greater prominence against Barcelona.

Sangante is ready even to start

Very good news with Arouna Sangante. Luis García was emphatic in confirming that the defender is already fully recovered. "He is even ready to play. He is perfect". And he added: "If I want to put him in the starting XI, he is ready to play". Therefore, Sangante returns with no apparent restrictions and goes straight into the fight for the starting XI.

One player will either start or miss the squad

Luis García also left one of the big question marks of the matchweek. The coach revealed that there is a player who will be tested before the game and whose situation is very clear: "That player, if he is fit, will be in the starting XI". If he does not pass the test, he won't even be on the bench. The manager did not want to say who it is, so we will have to wait until the hours before the match to resolve the doubt.

Agoumé is going through a great moment

Luis García also highlighted the performance of Lucien Agoumé. The coach believes the midfielder is understanding very well what he is asked to do on the pitch. "Lucien is doing very well". His recent output and Sevilla's strong collective functioning reinforce his position within the squad.

Castrín keeps the coach's full trust

Another player who comes out of the appearance with extra momentum is Andrés Castrín. Luis García explained that he has always felt that he should become an important piece. "He is an important player for us and one that I trust a lot". After a difficult summer due to injury, Castrín has been growing progressively and his role within the team seems increasingly consolidated.

The less regulars will get opportunities

Luis García was particularly pleased with the attitude of the players who have been getting fewer minutes. The coach admitted that he would like to give them more chances, but reminded everyone that performing well in training does not automatically guarantee a place in the starting XI. That said, he made it clear that those opportunities will eventually come and he expects everyone to be ready when their turn comes.
