The Sevilla defender suffered a contusion in the match against Deportivo de La Coruña and on Thursday he did not train normally with the rest of his team-mates. However, his progress has been positive and he is finally available for Luis García Plaza ahead of the important matchday 7 clash.

His inclusion in the list clears up the main concern from the past few hours, although we will have to wait to see whether the coach also decides to include him in the starting XI after Sevilla's demanding schedule. Some outlets still have him among the options to start in Sevilla's back line.

What do we do with Kike Salas in fantasy?

🔴 We wouldn't risk it with Kike Salas this matchday. Even though he has finally made the squad, he arrives carrying knocks and is touch-and-go after the niggles from the past few days, so he does not seem like the best option to take risks.

Also, he will be up against a Barcelona with huge attacking potential, in a match that looks especially tough for Sevilla's defenders. Even if he starts, the risk of conceding several goals and ending up with a low score is high.
