Fernando Llorente and Vitolo have recovered from their respective muscular injuries and will return to the Sevilla squad ahead of Saturday's match against Barcelona, the club has confirmed.

Llorente joined Los Rojiblancos on a free transfer from Juventus in the summer, but was unable to play against his old side on Wednesday due to the injury. His former club's 2-0 win left Sevilla with three points from its opening two games in Champions League Group D.

Manager Unai Emery can also call upon winger Vitolo, who sat out both the Champions League tie and the 3-2 league win over Rayo Vallecano last Saturday with a muscle complaint.

After six games of La Liga action, Sevilla, which has won two consecutive Europa Leagues, sits disappointingly in 16th place.
