Sevilla will be without the services of three first-team players for the second leg of their Europa League quarter-final against Manchester United on Thursday night.
Gonzalo Montiel is a notable absentee for Jose Luis Mendilibar's side, with the right-back missing due to the yellow card that he picked up in last week's 2-2 draw in the first leg at Old Trafford.
Pape Gueye is also out, with the midfielder ineligible for Sevilla in the Europa League, while Joan Jordan will miss the quarter-final second leg due to a muscular injury.
Jordan was back in the squad against Valencia on Sunday after missing the first leg at Old Trafford.
The Spaniard played 68 minutes of the 2-0 win over Los Che but picked up another issue which has ruled him out of the contest with the 20-time English champions at Estadio Ramon.

There are no other absentees for Sevilla, who trailed 2-0 in the first leg last week before own goals from Tyrell Malacia and Harry Maguire levelled the scores in the tie.
Head coach Mendilibar has big decisions to make when it comes to his team selection for this match, as Erik Lamela was picked to lead the line last week, with leading goalscorer Youssef En-Nesyri on the bench.
En-Nesyri has scored 14 times in all competitions during the 2022-23 campaign, although just one of those goals has come in the Europa League.
The Morocco international is the only player in the Sevilla squad to hit double figures this term, with Lamela the second-highest goalscorer in the squad with six.
Ivan Rakitic is also again in the squad, and the experienced midfielder has sent a warning to Man United ahead of the contest between the two sides in Spain.

"These people don't know what awaits them on Thursday. It is a team with a lot of experience and many millions, but United does not know what Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan is like packed," Rakitic told AS.
"I know from when I was at Barcelona that players from other teams sing the Sevilla anthem on the pitch. It is unique. What our fans have created is very impressive.
"[David] De Gea or Casemiro, who have played here, will surely explain to them that this is something else. You get anywhere and they say that this is Sevilla's competition. They are going to have to suffer, I cannot guarantee that we will qualify but we are going to leave everything on the field.
"We are talking about one of the most important teams in Europe and with significant economic potential. There are few teams that can take away a Real Madrid starter, Casemiro, that speaks of the strength and potential of Manchester United."
Sevilla have won the Europa League on six occasions, which is a record, while Man United lifted the trophy for the first time in 2017.
Sevilla squad vs. Manchester United:
Dmitrovic, Bono, Flores; Navas, Marcao, Nianzou, Acuna, Rekik, Telles, Bade; Rakitic, Torres, Fernando, P Gomez, Gudelj; Rafa Mir, Suso, En-Nesyri, Lamela, Gil, Ocampos
