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.
