Sevilla prepare for Valencia with Corberán under severe pressure | OneFootball

Sevilla continue preparations to host Valencia at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán, with two known absences and several selection options, while three recent arrivals push for their first outings in front of the home crowd.

According to Zona Mixta, Rubén Vargas and Arouna Sangante were the only players missing from the final training session. Marcão has built up three weeks of work after a pre-season muscle oedema and could make his first squad of the campaign, having missed the opening four games against Rayo Vallecano, Athletic Club, Atlético de Madrid and Espanyol.

Youssouf Fofana and Lucas Stassin are pushing to start after impressing in Cornellà, while Félix Correia is seeking his first minutes in a Sevilla shirt. Marcão is also an option to cover for Sangante at centre-back.

Marcão remains behind Iker Muñoz in the coaching staff’s pecking order and Sevilla explored an exit for the Brazilian during the summer window due to his high salary, but he stayed.

Valencia arrive bottom of LaLiga with one goal scored and nine conceded, making Friday’s visit especially delicate for Carlos Corberán. Tribuna Deportiva reports that Lisandro Isei has begun assessing coaching options in case the club dispenses with him.

Corberán knows his future at Mestalla is at stake. Another defeat or, more importantly, another display short of the club’s standards could hasten a decision as Valencia seek an immediate reaction.
