Manchester United loanee Hannibal Mejbri will not feature for Sevilla for the foreseeable future after just one appearance.


The La Liga club signed the 21-year-old on loan earlier this month after fighting off interest from Everton who were interested in the Tunisia international.


Mejbri - who's made 10 appearances for his parent club this season - made his Sevilla debut in their 5-1 defeat against Girona last weekend before he was left out of the squad in their midweek defeat to Atletico Madrid in the Copa del Rey.

The Andalusian club have since announced that he won't be involved in their league clash against Osasuna on Saturday (January 27) as well as any further matches after he was warned by Sevilla boss Quique Sanchez Flores that he must "understand where he is".

"After being with him, talking to him and having seen his first minutes in Girona, we are going to give him the necessary space to understand where he is, that he is at Sevilla and what it means," the former Watford boss said.

"He has to know where he is and we want to see him. We have spoken with him and we believe that he has to have some time to learn, we wanted to give him space, time for him to see things from the outside and then he will return to the squad.

"In the end they are kids who have come and suddenly land in a huge club like Sevilla in circumstances of maximum demand. And they need a bit of location. And that location may be seen better from the outside than from the inside. You should take a step to understand what we want.

"Let's see if the boy applies himself and I think that in the end he will understand perfectly what we want." It's been a wretched season thus far for the Spanish side who sit a shockingly low 17th in the league having won just three games all season.
