Djibril Sow It was the first signing of Victor Orta as sports director of Sevilla. The player arrived in the summer of 2023 from Eintracht Frankfurt for more than ten million euros, but his performance during this first season at Sevilla was somewhat disappointing. It is true that the sporting difficulties that the team went through, and which led to two changes of coaches during the course, had a direct impact on the midfielder’s adaptation. And it is that he sow profile It did not fit well with the style of play that Quique Sánchez Flores imposed.
In fact, the arrival of Xavi García Pimienta This year has been a new opportunity for the player, since the Catalan aspires for a large part of the team’s play to happen through the center of the field. In the coach’s head, the starting lineup in this area is Saul, Lokonga and Sow. However, they are having real problems getting all of these players available. Saúl has missed two and a half months of competition, while Sambi Lokonga missed almost the entire month of September, in addition to the match against Atlético de Madrid.
Now, it is Sow who has fallen and has expanded his injury record since he arrived at Sevilla. The Swiss midfielder suffered discomfort in training last Thursday and a myofascial injury was detected in the adductor longus of his left thigh. In this way, he will not be able to play the two remaining games this year and it is expected that he will be available for the cup match against Almería or the league match against Valencia.
Four injuries in a year and a half
The truth is that physical problems have accompanied Sow throughout his career. Since joining Sevilla, the Swiss has suffered five injuries that have left him unable to play for more than a hundred days. In total, the Swiss international has missed twelve games in a season and a halfplus the two that will be lost (if all goes well) this December. He suffered the longest injury at the beginning of last April, breaking his toe and missing the rest of the season.
This season has not gotten off to a good start either, since He had two injuries in September and has not been able to have continuity in the game until well into October. After this, García Pimienta did not give him the starting job until the match against Leganés. The Swiss has been getting better since then and has even had some pretty good games against Rayo Vallecano (in which he scored), Osasuna and even against Atlético de Madrid. A progression that is interrupted again by the physical problems of the midfielder, who will return to the playing field in 2025.
