Sofyan Amrabat Injury: Unlikely to play vs. Sevilla

Amrabat (foot) isn't expected to be an option for Sunday's derby against Sevilla, manager Manuel Pellegrini told media after Thursday's win over Utrecht in the UEFA Europa League. "Armabat isn't expected to be available unless he has an out-of-this-world recovery."

Amrabat injured Isco and, in the process, he injured himself. The Morocco international is not ruled out, but his chances of playing Sunday are slim. Sergi Altimira could start in midfield if Amrabat isn't available, given the team's lack of reliable options there.
