The forward injured knee ligaments in October

Carlos Fernández has stepped up his recovery from injury by training with the first team this week.

The forward suffered damage to the cruciate ligament in his left knee October 6, and began training with Sevilla Atletico - the club's second string - after a six-month spell on the sidelines on April 12.

And this week the 20-year-old made his return to the first team set up, with one goal to his name from three appearances this season.

Meanwhile, after returning from injury against Real Sociedad on Friday night, Vitolo trained away from the group as a precaution while Sergio Escudero started rehabilitation this week after reporting an adductor problem.

Mariano is still training individually as a precaution after the knee injury he picked up against Celta Vigo on April 27, with the right-back absent from the last two matchday squads.

Vicente Iborra is also training away from the first team with discomfort in his left knee following the injury that he picked up against Celta Vigo, despite playing in both games subsequent to the 2-1 win against Celta at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán.
