The Sevilla FC midfielder, Joan Jordán, is still not playing this season under the management of Matías Almeyda and has become a both a sporting and economic headache for the Seville team in their struggle to regain prominence in La Liga.

Why is Joan Jordán still not playing?

Since the beginning of the preseason, the midfielder has shown signs that he is not at his best. Although he recovered from a disc herniation that required surgery, Almeyda has acknowledged that Jordán "doesn’t feel ready either physically or football-wise to compete yet."

Persistent discomfort in his lower back continues to be an obstacle, and although the player trains with the group, he has not been called up. This situation highlights that merely participating in training sessions is not enough; he lacks competitive rhythm and confidence to take the leap onto the field.

As reported by Eldesmarque, there is concern in Nervión. Joan Jordán has not played a single minute so far this season, and his recovery is taking longer than expected. Meanwhile, Sevilla FC misses a player with his organizing and leadership abilities in midfield.

The contractual and economic context

Joan Jordán's situation goes beyond the physical. The player is one of the highest salaries in the squad and, unlike other teammates like Marcao or Djibril Sow, he did not accept the salary adjustment proposed by the sports management.

Jordán agreed to a temporary salary reduction but demanded a future increase that the club deemed unaffordable. This stance did not sit well within the organization, especially considering that the player is not available to compete.

Sevilla FC, going through a period of financial restraint, sees the '8' situation affecting its sports planning. Keeping a high-cost player without real participation is a burden that limits the team's flexibility in the market.

Matías Almeyda's demands

Matías Almeyda has been clear since his arrival: "Here, no one will be a starter by forgiving salary." The Argentine, appreciative of the commitment of players who have helped alleviate the club's wage bill, separates finances entirely from sports matters.

Nevertheless, Almeyda has tried to reintegrate Joan Jordán into the group. He has sought to involve him both in the dressing room and in training, but the player insists he isn't ready to compete yet. The coach respects his process but acknowledges that the absence of the Catalan is costly for the team.

Sevilla FC, facing several demanding matches ahead, needs depth and experience in midfield. Jordán could provide both, but the reality is that, for now, his name continues to be absent from the call-ups.

Impact on La Liga and uncertain future

In a season where Sevilla seeks stability and results, the lack of playing time for Joan Jordán represents a luxury the club cannot afford. La Liga waits for no one, and every matchday without the midfielder is a missed opportunity for both player and team.

Joan Jordán's case symbolizes a broader issue: high-wage players not delivering immediate results. The board is already considering possible solutions if the situation does not change soon, either by seeking an exit in winter or revising his role within the squad.

For now, Joan Jordán remains a costly asset, a player who once played a key role in the Seville setup but has now become a question mark. Time is running against him, and Sevilla FC needs urgent answers to prevent this sports and economic conflict from lingering in the midst of the battle to climb positions in La Liga.
