Trains fully, option vs Atletico
Marcao (foot) trained fully this week and is an option for Saturday's clash against Atletico Madrid, the club posted.
Analysis: Marcao had been left out of Sevilla's final training session before the LaLiga opener against Rayo Vallecano, continuing an individualized recovery plan tied to a thigh bruise and foot issue that had already kept him sidelined at the end of last season. His full week of training now confirms he has moved past that setback, positioning him to be considered for a return to the matchday squad.
Left out ahead of season opener
Marcao (foot) has been left out of Sevilla's final training session before Saturday's LaLiga opener against Rayo Vallecano, according to Deportes Sevilla.
Analysis: Marcao had recently continued his individualized recovery plan at the club's sporting city rather than traveling for the preseason camp in the Netherlands, a setback that followed a thigh bruise and a foot issue that had already kept him sidelined at the end of last season. His continued absence now confirms he will not be available for the season opener, and his path back to full team training will be worth monitoring as Sevilla begins the new 2026/27 La Liga campaign.
Not traveling with squad
Marcao (foot) is not traveling with Sevilla's squad to the preseason camp in the Netherlands and will continue his specific plan at the club's sporting city, according to the club.
Analysis: Marcao had recently returned to team training after managing a thigh bruise, a setback that followed a foot issue that already kept him sidelined at the end of last season. His continued individualized work while the rest of the squad travels suggests a cautious approach to his reintegration, and his path back to full team training will be worth monitoring as Sevilla's preseason continues.
Trains with team
Marcao (thigh) is back in team training Saturday, according to Zona Mixta.
Analysis: Marcao had been doing specific work on the grass while managing a thigh bruise, a setback that followed a foot issue that already kept him sidelined at the end of last season. His return to team training is an encouraging sign that he has put the injury behind him, positioning him to be back in contention for minutes as Sevilla continues its preseason preparations.
Doing specific work on grass
Marcao (thigh) is doing specific work on the grass, according to Zona Mixta.
Analysis: Marcao's progression to on field work is an encouraging step after a thigh bruise limited him in preseason friendly action, following a foot issue that had already kept him sidelined at the end of last season. The gradual buildup suggests Sevilla is easing him back carefully, and he remains on track to be back in contention for minutes before the start of the regular season.
Struggling with bruise
Marcao (thigh) is struggling with a bruise, and has been limited in friendly action, Sevilla announced.
Analysis: Marcao ended the season on the sideline with a foot issue and is now opening pre-season on the sideline with a thigh bruise. It's not expected to be a serious issue, but it has kept him out of the pre-season opener. Marcao should be back in contention for minutes before the regular campaign opens.
Won't return this season
Marcao (foot) has returned to training with the squad but will not feature again this season, according to Marca.
Analysis: Marcao had made it back to collective sessions after undergoing surgery to repair a left foot fracture in January, making his return to the training pitch a meaningful rehabilitation milestone. However, the club has decided not to rush the Brazilian center-back back into competitive action before the end of the campaign, with Marcao ending the season with one goal, 59 clearances and 13 tackles across 13 appearances before the injury struck. The focus now shifts to being fully fit and available from the very start of the 2026/27 season.
Trains with team Friday
Marcao (foot) returned to team training Friday for the first time in four months and could be an option for Sunday's clash against Real Madrid, according to Zona Mixta.
Analysis: Marcao had undergone surgery to repair a fracture in his left foot in January and has been working through a lengthy rehabilitation process ever since, making his return to collective sessions a significant milestone. The Brazilian center-back had contributed one goal, 59 clearances and 13 tackles across 13 appearances before the injury struck, and his potential availability for the Real Madrid fixture would be a welcome boost for Sevilla heading into the final fixture of their season. The club will assess how he comes through the remaining sessions before making a final call on his involvement Sunday.
