Sevilla player Miguel Sierra left the pitch in tears during a match against Levante. The moment has worried his club.

The game took place at the Ciutat de Valencia stadium. Sevilla has not yet explained the full reason for his reaction.

Teammate Félix Correia also had to leave the match early. He felt some discomfort and asked to be substituted.

Both players stopped playing because of physical problems. It is not clear yet how serious their injuries are.

Sevilla's medical team will likely examine both players soon. The club wants more details before making any decisions.

These two moments happened during the same match, which has raised concerns among fans and coaching staff.

Sierra's emotional exit has especially worried supporters, since it suggests the problem might be more than just physical pain.

Levante hosted the match, and the result has not been mentioned in the available reports.

Sevilla will probably release an official statement once the medical checks are complete.

Until then, fans must wait to learn whether the two players will miss upcoming matches.
