Sevilla’s head coach, García Pimienta, has explained his decision to leave Kelechi Iheanacho on the bench throughout Monday night’s intense 1-1 draw against Osasuna.

The Nigerian forward, who joined Sevilla on a free transfer during the summer, was expected to feature in the match but was sidelined for the full 90 minutes.

Speaking after the game, Pimienta clarified that unforeseen circumstances forced him to adjust his plans.

Injuries to key players Sambi Lokonga and Lucien Agoumé disrupted his substitution strategy, leading to Iheanacho’s exclusion.

“I would have loved to have all players available,” Pimienta explained.

“Kelechi couldn’t come on because of Lokonga’s discomfort, and Agoumé had to step in instead. Saúl is a very experienced player.

He was brought in to help the team in difficult moments, and he played well considering the circumstances.”

Iheanacho, 28, joined Sevilla after a stint at Leicester City and has featured in seven league games for the Andalusian side this season.

Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, has firmly stated that Ederson is still his top-choice goalkeeper despite being dropped for the team’s recent 2-0 defeat against Liverpool at Anfield.

In that match, Guardiola opted for Stefan Ortega Moreno to take the spot in goal, a decision that sparked a bit of discussion among fans and analysts.

However, ahead of City’s upcoming Premier League fixture against Nottingham Forest, Guardiola was quick to reaffirm Ederson’s position as the first-choice goalkeeper.

He explained that while Ortega’s performance may lead to continued appearances in future matches, Ederson remains the primary option.

Guardiola mentioned that Ederson took the decision in stride and responded positively to being left out of the starting XI for the Liverpool game.
