Sevilla FC has excluded Adrià Pedrosa and Kike Salas from the squad traveling to face Córdoba in a friendly match scheduled for Thursday at 21:00 local time (19:00 UTC). According to the official squad list released by the club, the absences leave head coach Luis García Plaza with limited first-team options for the third friendly of the pre-season.
Roster Changes for Córdoba Friendly
The omission of Adrià Pedrosa marks a shift in the player’s status within the squad. While the Catalan midfielder was included in the previous friendly match held in Kraków, he is no longer listed for the trip to Córdoba. This move aligns with reports from ABC de Sevilla, which indicated on Wednesday that Pedrosa had been moved into the group of discarded players.
Kike Salas is also absent from the convocatoria. While the club’s announcement confirmed his absence, the specific reasons for his omission were not detailed in the primary squad release.
Pre-season Context and Squad Depth
Luis García Plaza is managing a lean roster as Sevilla FC progresses through its early summer preparations. This match represents the third friendly of the pre-season cycle, a period typically used by La Liga clubs to integrate new signings and assess fitness levels before the official campaign begins.
