Sevilla FC's new coach, Luis García Plaza, has scheduled two training sessions at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán stadium this week to help the squad adapt to the pitch before Saturday's important match against Atlético de Madrid.

Following their recent defeat to Oviedo, the Sevilla team is now focusing on their next league challenge. The match against Atlético de Madrid is set for Saturday at 9:00 PM at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán, a critical game for the club's current standing.
The squad will have no rest this week. After a recovery session on Monday, the players will begin intensive preparations for the clash against Simeone's team, who will arrive amidst their Champions League quarter-final tie against Barcelona.
Aware of the match's significance, which will mark his debut at the Sánchez-Pizjuán as Sevilla's coach, García Plaza has decided to revive the tradition of holding the final pre-match training sessions at the stadium itself. This practice, previously used by coaches like Joaquín Caparrós and Lopetegui, aims to familiarize the players with the playing field. The sessions are scheduled for Wednesday afternoon and Friday morning.
The team will return to training this Tuesday, with particular attention paid to the progress of several players. Swiss players Sow and Rubén Vargas finished the last match with discomfort, though no serious injury has been initially detected. Additionally, César Azpilicueta, who did not travel to Asturias, is doubtful for the confrontation against his former team.

This Tuesday, the mid-week press conference will take place, where captain Nemanja Gudelj will be the spokesperson and address the media regarding the delicate situation the Sevilla entity is currently experiencing.
