How Sevilla could line up against Roma

How Sevilla could line up against Roma

Six-time winners Sevilla travel to Budapest for Wednesday's Europa League final, where Serie A side Roma will await them.

After rotating his resources at the weekend, the Spanish club's coach Jose Luis Mendilibar will naturally revert to his strongest XI at the Puskas Arena, so Manu Bueno and Rafa Mir - who scored against Real Madrid on Saturday - should be two of those demoted to the bench.

Following precedent in this term's competition, Morocco international Yassine Bounou replaces first-choice Marko Dmitrovic in goal, behind Los Rojiblancos' probable 4-2-3-1 formation.

Suso and Joan Jordan have recovered from recent injuries to make the trip, but defensive duo Loic Bade and Tanguy Nianzou could both miss out.

Also sent off at the weekend, Marcos Acuna is suspended for the final, which should see Alex Telles featuring at left-back.

Veteran right-back Jesus Navas - who won the UEFA Cup with the club 17 years ago - will captain the side, with Marcao and Nemanja Gudelj set to be partnered in central defence.

Youssef En-Nesyri has scored three goals across the last two rounds, so should replace Mir up front. Lucas Ocampos and Oliver Torres could also return, starting in support of the Moroccan striker.

Sevilla possible starting lineup: Bounou; Navas, Marcao, Gudelj, Telles; Fernando, Rakitic; Ocampos, Torres, Gil; En-Nesyri
