Francisco Javier González Pérez
SEV
Makes squad for Antonio Puerta Trophy
Gonzalez (groin) has been included in the squad for the Antonio Puerta Trophy match against Aston Villa on Friday.
Analysis: Gonzalez picked up the injury with Spain U21, but it wasn't as serious as originally expected, and he's in the squad for this friendly match. Gonzalez should continue as a backup option between the posts for Sevilla when the league resumes against Levante on Monday, Oct. 12.
Suffers psoas discomfort
Gonzalez has returned from the Spain U21 training camp and rejoins Sevilla's group Tuesday due to minor discomfort in his psoas, with his evolution to be assessed by the club's medical services, according to the club.
Analysis: Gonzalez has been operating as Sevilla's backup goalkeeper this season behind Odysseas Vlachodimos, so his absence would carry little practical impact, with Loren Luchino and Rafa likely to compete for the number two role if he needs time to recover.
Dealing with undisclosed injury
Gonzalez is dealing with an undisclosed injury that forced him to leave the Spain U21 training camp, according to Diario De Sevilla.
Analysis: The goalkeeper has been operating as Sevilla's backup goalkeeper this season behind Oddyseas Vlachodimos, so if he has to miss time, his absence wouldn't affect many fantasy decisions. In that scenario, Loren Luchino and Rafa would probably compete for the No. 2 role.
Takes on backup role
Gonzalez is serving as the backup to Odysseas Vlachodimos following his summer move to Sevilla from Real Madrid.
Analysis: Gonzalez has settled into the expected No. 2 role behind Odysseas Vlachodimos and is unlikely to see significant La Liga action while the latter remains available. The young goalkeeper could receive opportunities through rotation or in cup competitions, while his move to Sevilla should also provide a pathway toward a larger role in the future.
Officially joining Sevilla
Gonzalez is now part of Sevilla's roster following his departure from Real Madrid, his new club announced Sunday.
Analysis: Gonzalez is a young prospect who made his lone La Liga appearance for Real Madrid in 2025 and has otherwise seen time in lower divisions. Additionally, he has been part of Spain's Under-21 national team in recent competitions. He'll add depth in his new team's goal as a backup option behind Odysseas Vlachodimos after the departure of Orjan Nyland. While the youngster's involvement may be limited in the short term, he'll likely be in contention for a bigger role in the future, considering his age and formation.
