Ex-Man City Forward Ruled Out of Liverpool Clash in Champions League Opener

Sevilla manager Eduardo Berizzo will be without Nolito for their clash with Liverpool on Wednesday.

The former Manchester City star, having endured a difficult maiden season at the Etihad after a £16m move, joined Sevilla this summer and despite scoring his first goal for the club in a 3-0 victory over Eibar at the weekend, an injury to his right thigh will keep him out of action for over a week, according to Football Espana.

Schalke 04 loanee Johannes Geis will also miss the Champions League trip to Anfield on Wednesday, despite featuring as a late second half substitute, replacing goalscorer Ganso, in Sevilla's La Liga comfortable win over Eibar.
