Levante UD returned to training on Tuesday without two injured players, Karl Etta Eyong and Hugo Sotelo. The squad, sitting 17th in La Liga with five points, is now preparing for their matchday eight fixture against Sevilla.
Etta Eyong, who has been recovering from a muscular injury in his right anterior rectus since late August, continues to work alone on the grass. Hugo Sotelo suffered a right knee sprain in the match against Barcelona on September 13 and has not yet joined group training. Neither player has received medical clearance.
Manager Luís Castro's technical staff has scheduled a block of consecutive sessions until Friday at the Ciudad Deportiva de Buñol, before a weekend break due to the international window. The aim is to correct team aspects and recover available players for a key clash. Their next opponent, Sevilla, sits fifth in the table, making the October 12 match at the Ciutat de València key.
In addition to the injury absences, Levante is without several players on international duty. Ifeanyi Ndukwe is with the Austria U-21s until October 7, while Axel Tape was called up by the France U-20 side. The team enters this break following an inconsistent run of form, with one win, two draws, and two defeats in their last five league outings.
