One of today's attractive commitments, which will be attended by Colombian footballers, is that of Seville against Granada, on a new day of La Liga. Both teams arrive with very different gifts and each one will defend their interests. For their part, Sevilla do not want to give up the fourth place they occupy today in the standings, while Granada, after drawing last date against Rayo Vallecano, will try to get out of the bottom of the table so as not to have to deal with the specter of relegation at the end of the season.

The club led by Julen Lopetegui has 57 points, but they record 4 games without knowing the victory. For today they will not be able to count on Fernando and Thomas Delaney due to injury. Papu Gómez is in doubt, but after the most recent press conference given by the DT, he will be part of the squad, although it is not clear if he will be in the starting line. “It's going to be on the call. He has trained for a short time with the team, but obviously, that he returns, is good news. All the troops we can have at the team's disposal make us more competitive,” said Lopetegui.

Granada occupies the 16th position in the table, with 29 points, and they have three games without achieving the three points. Those led by Rubén Torrecilla do not have a good time, despite the fact that in the last games played, in all of them, they have been able to score a goal. One of his bets is precisely on the Colombian Luis Suarez, who returned to the team after having played the last dates of the South American Qualifying with the Colombian National Team.

The striker samario has participated in the 30 games that his team has played this season, being an initialist in several and entering from the bench of substitutes in others. He has scored 7 goals and 3 assists, and has received 4 yellow cards. According to the Transfermarkt portal, the Colombian is today the most valuable player in his squad, his record is around 10.00 million euros. At the age of 24, he is the 15th most valuable player among Colombians and is among the top 200 with the best projection in Spanish football. After scoring Alavés, on matchday 29, he is eager to score and Sevilla must be attentive to his movements.

The other Colombians who make up the squad have very different realities from those of number 9. On the one hand, Carlos Bacca is still not taken into account and would have already received the endorsement to leave the team at the end of the season. Neyder Lozano is still injured and would have also received a similar notification. The one who does have hope is Santiago Arias, who had not played since December due to an injury. His last match was against his former team, Atletico Madrid. Recently, he has returned to training and is expected to be part of the bench of substitutes today.

Along with the Colombian, other players from the squad who rejoined are Angel Montoro and Maxime Gonalons, who trained again in the face of the tough clash against Sevilla. The three players had been recovering, some more than others, due to different injuries that deprived them of important league matches. Today's match will take place at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán Stadium and will be seen, Colombian time, starting at 2:00pm.
