One of the stars of the Sevilla team has had an injury scare in training a week before the Europa League final.

The Sevilla club website confirmed that Yevhen Konoplyanka had finished yesterday’s training session in considerable pain.

The Ukrainian international winger has scored eight goals for Sevilla this season and is seen as one of the biggest threats to Liverpool in the Europa League final in Basel.

Sevilla’s website said that he had completed his work in the session but was given treatment afterwards and “he’ll have to wait to see how it evolves”.

Konoplyanka’s name is of course well known to Liverpool fans who thought the club had bought him in the January transfer window of 2014.

Ian Ayre travelled to Ukraine to deal with the player’s former club Dnipro and Konoplaynaka passed a medical after the Reds triggered a 15m euro buy-out clause in his contract.

But the Reds were left frustrated by Dnipro’s multi-billionaire owner Ihor Kolomoyskyi who refused to sanction the deal.

In July 2015 the 26-year-old was able to move to Sevilla on a free transfer and he has played 49 games this season.

He would be a big loss to the Spanish outfit were the injury to prove serious.
