Sevilla FC Welcomes Back Azpilicueta and New Signing Maupay

omidbasir- Sevilla FC resumed training following a two-day break granted by coach Matías Almeyda, marking the occasion with two noteworthy developments. The first is the return of César Azpilicueta, who has recovered from his recent injury and rejoined the group. The second is the arrival of Neal Maupay, the club’s first signing in the winter transfer window.

Azpilicueta, the Navarra-born center-back, sustained an injury to the adductors of his left thigh during training, which was announced by the club on December 11. His last match with the team occurred four days prior against Valencia. His return is particularly timely, as it provides the coaching staff with additional defensive options amid a challenging period, especially with Nemanja Gudelj suspended for the upcoming match against Son Moix next Monday and Marcao sidelined for the remainder of the season due to a fracture in the scaphoid of his foot.

On another note, Maupay arrived in Seville early yesterday and was announced as a new player in the afternoon. He has been signed on loan until the end of the season from Olympique de Marseille, with an option to buy. He is already training under Almeyda’s guidance, aiming to make his debut in the next league match. Maupay’s arrival coincided with the departure of Alfon, whose loan to Villarreal, also with an option to purchase, was officially confirmed yesterday afternoon.
