Vinicius included in 22-man Real Madrid squad for trip to Seville

'Los Blancos' haven't beaten Sevilla away from home since 2015, when Carlo Ancelotti oversaw a 3-2 victory. 

That means neither Rafa Benitez, nor Zinedine Zidane ever managed to get the better of the Andalusians on their turf during their time in the Real Madrid hot seat, with Lopetegui keen to avoid becoming the club's latest victim.

Vinicius is joined in the squad by Fede Valverde, Jesus Vallejo and Sergio Reguilon, with every fit and available player included.

Isco and Dani Carvajal are the only injury-enforced absentees. Though there will still be four players who cannot feature in the final matchday squad, one of which will be a goalkeeper.

Sevilla have proven free-scoring early on this season, with Pablo Machín's side putting six past Levante last time out, four past Rayo Vallecano on the opening weekend and five past Standard Liège and Zalgiris Vilnius in the Europa League, meaning Lopetegui and co will have to be at their best if they are to break their wretched run against the 'Blanquirrojos'.
