Nigerian players Kelechi Iheanacho and Chidera Ejuke are eligible for selection against Villarreal on Friday, according to Sevilla manager García Pimienta.
Iheanacho was left out of Sevilla’s lineup for last weekend’s 2-2 away draw against Las Palmas. Ejuke was listed as a replacement, but he did not play in the match.
The two players are now in line to make their official debut for the Rojiblancos against the Yellow Submarine.
“Ejuke is doing very well,” Pimienta said at a press conference on Thursday.
“The other day he didn’t come in because of our decision considering the state of the team. Tomorrow, if necessary, he will help the team.”
He added: “For tomorrow we will have practically the entire squad except for Suso, who is injured. We want the team to be recognisable and to play as equals regardless of the opponent. Tomorrow we play at home.”
