Sevilla FC is suffering terribly from the absence of Yassine Bounou, currently in Cameroon where he is participating in the Africa Cup of Nations with the Atlas Lions. In nine games without the Moroccan goalkeeper, the Spanish club has conceded nine goals.

The absence of Yassine Bounou has been very noticeable at Sevilla FC during this month of January. Before his departure for the AFCON in Cameroon, the Moroccan goalkeeper conceded 15 goals in 23 matches, an average of 0.65 goals per match, compared to nine goals in nine matches for his replacements, reports AS.

Goalkeeper Alfonso conceded two goals in the matches against Cordoba and Zaragoza in the Copa del Rey, the same source details, adding that Dmitrovic conceded six goals in seven matches and Javi Diaz one goal at Mestalla.

Sevilla FC has not shone much this month, due to the absence of Moroccans Youssef En-Nesyri, Munir El Haddadi, and especially Yassine Bounou. The players should return to their club after February 6 if Morocco managed to qualify for the semi-finals.
