Manu Bueno
SEV
Makes squad for first friendly
Bueno (knee) has been included in Sevilla's squad to travel to Poland for Sunday's preseason friendly against KS Cracovia, according to the club.
Analysis: Bueno's inclusion in the 24 man squad for the trip is an encouraging sign that he has put the knee issue behind him after it forced him out of training back in May. He had mainly been a bench option for Sevilla last season, and a fully healthy return to preseason action gives him a chance to compete for more consistent minutes in midfield heading into the new campaign.
Suffers knee issue
Bueno has been diagnosed with a bone edema on the tibial plateau of his right knee after being forced to leave Saturday's training session and is ruled out for the time being, according to the club.
Analysis: Bueno has mainly been a bench option for Sevilla this season, so his absence has a limited impact on the starting lineup, though he could have been in contention to start Monday's crucial clash against Real Sociedad. Batista Mendy is expected to take on a larger role in the midfield in his absence, with the club providing no specific return timeline as Bueno begins his recovery from the bone edema.
