Sevilla FC will be without midfielder Adriano Correia for their UEFA Cup return against FC Steaua Bucuresti after he picked up a hamstring injury in the first leg.
March comeback
The 22-year-old was hurt in the first half of Thursday's 2-0 victory in Romania and tests have subsequently ruled him out for the next three weeks. Adriano is not expected to return to action until the middle of March, placing in doubt his participation in the Round of 16 should Sevilla get through to a tie against either FC Shakhtar Donetsk or AS Nancy Lorraine, who drew 1-1 in Ukraine. Sevilla welcome Club Atlético de Madrid in the league on Sunday night as they look to keep up the pressure on leaders FC Barcelona.
