There are weeks when good news just keep on coming – and those weeks you should enjoy. Such have been the past few days for Sevilla. After overcoming their big rivals Betis in El Gran Derbi, they received a big boost on the training pitch as Anthony Martial and Erik Lamela made their return to first-team training sessions.Frenchman Martial picked up an injury in Sevilla’s match against Espanyol and had to miss both the Europa League trip to Dinamo Zagreb and the derby. Finally, he can get back to where he left off with Julen Lopetegui’s team.🏋🏻♂️ Hoy entrenamiento con Erik Lamela y la vuelta de Anthony Martial. 💪🏽 #VamosMiSevilla. pic.twitter.com/yhQUScJnFT— 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗼 𝘆 𝗥𝗼𝗷𝗼 🏴 𝗦𝗙𝗖 (@blancoyrojo_sfc) March 2, 2022 And the return of Erik Lamela was even more eagerly anticipated. The Argentine was absent for three months after a bad shoulder injury sustained in training.But not all Sevilla players are fit and healthy. Former Liverpool man Suso is still out and there is doubt over Papu Gomez’s availability. The former Atalanta midfielder was forced off half an hour into the Betis game. Initial tests suggest that the dynamic Argentine will be out for several weeks. It’s a busy treatment room at Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan, but at least a few more players can be made available for Lopetegui. Lucas Ocampos, Jules Kounde, Joan Jordan and Gonzalo Montiel have declared full fitness after slight niggles in the past couple of weeks.Friday, 23.00: (4.50) Alaves (3.40) Sevilla (1.95)Sevilla are currently second in La Liga standings, six points below leaders Real Madrid and eight points ahead of third-placed neighbours Betis.Their next game is a visit to Deportivo Alaves on Friday night.
