Sevilla have confirmed their travelling squad for Thursday's Europa League quarter-final first leg at Manchester United.
The Spanish outfit have made one change from the squad that faced Celta Vigo in La Liga last Friday, with Lucas Ocampos included following a suspension from domestic action. The Argentinian has taken the place of Pape Gueye, with Joan Jordan and Tecatito Corona both confirmed as injured.
Jose Luis Mendilibar's side will also include United loanee Alex Telles, with European competition allowing players to feature against their parent clubs. The left-back hasn't started since mid-March and will likely be on the bench.
LUCKHURST: United's game in hand could be delayed until final week of season
Sevilla are currently enduring their worst domestic season since being promoted to La Liga in 2001, a chaotic 2-2 draw against Celta Vigo last weekend - they conceded in the 89th and 93rd minutes and had two players sent off - leaving them 13th where at one point they were involved in a relegation battle.
The Spanish side are onto their third manager of the campaign, having failed to progress with Julen Lopetegui - now at Wolves - and Jorge Sampaoli. After finishing third in their Champions League group, wins against PSV Eindhoven and Fenerbahce saw them into the quarter-finals.
And despite a dismal domestic campaign, Sevilla continue to produce in Europe, having won the Europa League six times since 2005/2006.
