Brazilian Ace Luis Fabiano To Return For Sevilla Against Real Mallorca

The international star sat out the weekend win after picking up a knock...

Sevilla striker Luis Fabiano will return to the starting lineup when the Andalusian outfit take on Real Mallorca in their Spanish Primera Division clash tonight.

The Brazilian was absent as Los Nervionenses completed a 2-0 win over Osasuna on Saturday, with both Frederic Kanoute and record signing Alvaro Negredo on the score sheet for the visitors.

Luis Fabiano has been in typically prolific form so far this season having scored five goals in his last three games for Sevilla and Brazil.

His return, after recovering from a minor physical complaint, will most likely see Negredo drop to the bench.

Sevilla coach Manolo Jimenez will be looking for three points tonight at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan stadium as the home side look to make it three league wins on the bounce ahead of a tough trip to San Mames to take on the in-form Athletic Bilbao at the weekend.

That will be followed by an trip to Glasgow to take on Rangers in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday in a busy couple of weeks for Sevilla.
