Injury-torn Sevilla hoping for all-in at Alaves

Julen Lopetegui's slot is ripped up. As many as eight regulars are sidelined due to injuries

They are UEFA Europa League masters, with as many as six titles, and are one of the favourites to raise the trophy for the seventh time. However, before their UEL tie against West Ham next Wednesday, Sevilla are about to face a massive La Liga challenge.

Not because of the minnows Alaves, a basement slot struggling to stay in the top flight, but due to a squad tore by injuries. Not one, not two, but eight Sevilla players are ineligible to play on Friday night at Alaves.

More precisely, Julen Lopetegui can not count on Karim Rekik, Erik Lamela, Diego Carlos, Suso, Gonzalo Montiel, Alejandro Gomez, Anthony Martial, and Papu Gomez.

Sevilla have conceded the fewest goals in La Liga so far, just 18, but have won only two of the last five games.

In the first part of the season, the Sanchez Pisjuan outfit drew at home against the Basque County slot, 2-2.
