Nemanja Gudelj makes a return to face Sevilla FC this Sunday at the Coliseum, lining up for Getafe CF months after ending a seven-year association with the club where he played more matches than for any other team in his career.
Gudelj stands as the fifth foreign player with the most appearances in Sevilla history, pulling on the shirt 261 times.
