Manu Bueno aims to regain his upward trajectory at Sevilla FC after a costly red card against Getafe disrupted his breakthrough campaign.
Sevilla entered the club football pause sitting sixth in the La Liga table despite managing just one victory in their last five league fixtures, Diario ABC reported. The break gives coach Luis García Plaza and his squad time to address their recent dip in form after twelve matches.
For Bueno, the pause arrives as a welcome opportunity to regroup. The young midfielder from Jerez de la Frontera had steadily worked his way into García Plaza’s plans before a difficult afternoon at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez halted his progress.
During that fixture against Getafe, Bueno scored an unfortunate own goal for the home side’s second strike and received a late red card. The dismissal forced Sevilla to finish the match with ten men and sidelined the academy product for Friday’s subsequent fixture against Alavés.
After making his senior debut for the club in 2023, he finally secured a permanent squad number and first-team registration.
His immediate future in Andalusia nearly took a different path during the final hours of the summer transfer window. Bueno remained in the squad only because the club ran out of time to finalize an exit that satisfied all parties involved before the deadline.
Sevilla holds sixth place in the Spanish top-flight standings with 12 matches completed. García Plaza’s side will look to shore up its defensive lapses and rediscover the form from its positive start to the campaign when league play resumes.
Bueno returns to training aiming to convince his manager that he belongs in the rotation.
