Sevilla XI vs Manchester United: Confirmed team news, starting lineup, latest Europa League injury list

Sevilla coach Julen Lopetegui has named an unchanged side for tonight’s Europa League semi-final against Manchester United.

Lucas Ocampos scored a late winner as Sevilla beat Wolves 1-0 on Tuesday, and the Argentine winger lines up on the left of a front three also featuring Suso and January signing Youssef En-Nesryi.

That means there is no place in the XI for strikers Luuk de Jong and Munir El Haddadi, who both made substitute appearances against Wolves.

In midfield, Ever Banega continues to provide the creative outlet for the Andalusians in what could be the Argentine’s final game for the club as he heads to Saudi Arabia later this summer.

Former Manchester City winger Jesus Navas has become an effective right-back in his second spell at Sevilla since playing in that position under Pep Guardiola and the 34-year-old will feature, with Real Madrid loanee and reported Chelsea target Sergio Reguilon on the other side.

Goalkeeper Tomas Vaclik is available again after a knee ligament sprain suffered in July and was on the bench against Wolves, but Yassine Bounou keeps his place after he saved a penalty from Raul Jimenez on Tuesday.

Midfielder Nemanja Gudelj has been back with the squad since Thursday after missing the initial trip due to a positive test for Covid-19, and the Serbian is a substitute against United after a period of quarantine.
