Sevilla Crumble Under Pressure: Stanis Idumbo felt a pain in his Adductor
Idumbo is adding to a packed infirmary just before the international break. At least, Suso trained with his teammates on Monday.
Stanis Idumbo felt pain in his adductor and had to leave the field in the 25th minute of the match against Real Sociedad. Xavi García Pimienta was grimacing on the touchline: pending the tests that will determine the exact extent of the injury on Monday, Idumbo will join the already crowded infirmary of the Nervionenses, who arrive at the last sprint before the November break practically exhausted.
The Belgian winger joins the absences of Nyland, Saúl, Ejuke, Badé and Nianzou. Suso trained on Monday with his teammates, but it is not certain that he will be able to return, at least in the starting eleven, next week. None of the others are likely to make it to next Saturday’s match at Leganés, a team whose well-deserved defeat against Real Sociedad has filled with an urgent need to avoid having to look at the bottom of the table again.

The plague has been especially cruel for the wings . The transfer, with the market already closed, of Lucas Ocampos to Mexico has been added to the muscle tear suffered by Chidera Ejuke for several months, who the doctors are determining these days whether to undergo surgery or follow a more conservative treatment. If he goes under the operating table he will be out until well into 2025. He would barely make it to the final stretch of the campaign.
The Catalan coach is confident that several of the injured players will recover after the break, although he is keeping his fingers crossed because his squad is starting to feel like a piece of cake. In addition to the almost chronically injured players like Nianzou and others who are often in pain like Badé, there is Lokonga, now undisputed in the midfield and who has already fallen several times; and Marcao, who made a glaring mistake in the penalty on Zubimendi, who was crystal clear until a few weeks ago
