Isaac Romero and Fofana work separately in Sevilla session with 11 academy players

Sevilla FC

The Sevilla FC continue their preparations for the derby against Real Betis in a week shaped by the international break. In Thursday's session, the second of the week, the coaching staff had several absentees and a strong presence of academy players.

The main news was the absence from the pitch of Isaac Romero and Youssouf Fofana, who carried out specific work in the gym. According to the information available, this is not a serious issue, so for now it remains an individual management matter within the team's planning.

Also missing was Jon Guridi, who travelled to the Basque Country to join the Euskadi squad, managed by Jagoba Arrasate, ahead of Saturday's friendly against Venezuela at San Mamés. That comes on top of the seven internationals who are already away with their countries at the moment.

Eleven academy players complete the session

With several players unavailable, Luis García Plaza turned to Sevilla Atlético to make up the numbers. Working with the first team were Rafa Romero, Loren, Marc Fernández, Eric Alcaide, Tamiou Kpebane, Chumachenko, Jesuly, Jesús Cruz, Edu Altozano, Marc Scuri and Ibra Sow.

Among the youngsters, the presence of Marc Scuristood out, after a strong start to the campaign with the reserve side and continued work with the first-team group during this break.

From a Fantasyperspective, Isaac Romero and Fofana's situation should be closely monitored in the coming training sessions, although the gym work is understood to be specific and with no confirmed alarm. Their progress will determine whether they return to the group in time for the derby.
