The team, managed by García Pimienta, is ready to resume its Copa del Rey campaign despite facing challenges due to limited squad numbers.
Sevilla, after the recent farewell of Jesús Navas to professional football, will play its first official match in the Copa del Rey without its legendary figure. The team faces a real threat from Liga Hypermotion leaders UD Almería, who are currently showing more promise than the former European champions, who are in the midst of a rebuild.
Javier García Pimienta, the coach of the Nervión team, is cautious after eliminating Las Rozas and Olot in the previous rounds, two teams from the Third Division and the Second RFEF. He is particularly vigilant given the category jump and the unique format of the Copa del Rey. Additionally, García has indicated a need for a winger, with the potential departures of Argentine Valentín Barco and Nigerian Kelechi Iheanacho looming on the horizon.
