Sevilla's defensive woes have been exacerbated by the news that Adil Rami will miss the next six weeks with a thigh injury.
The Frenchman, a summer arrival from Milan, had started the Andalucians' opening three matches of the season but now joins Daniel Carrico and Nicolas Pareja on the treatment table for the foreseeable future.
Rami is expected to miss up to the next nine games, including three Champions League fixtures, two of which are against Juventus and Manchester City, and the visit of Barcelona in La Liga on October 3.
His absence means the side now only have Kolo, Luismi and fellow new boy Marco Andreolli as centre-back options.
