Quique Sanchez Flores has indicated that Alejo Veliz still has to get back to his rhythm of sniffing out chances in training before he is handed a start.
When Veliz made the loan switch to Sevilla in January, the striker would have seen the move as the ideal opportunity to get competitive minutes under his belt and show that he belongs at the top level.
However, the 20-year-old is still waiting for his first start at the La Liga side, having played just 52 minutes across three appearances so far (Transfermarkt).
Why is Alejo Veliz not starting for Sevilla?
A couple of days ago, ABC Sevilla questioned why the Argentine is not getting any opportunities and criticised Sanchez Flores for the same.
The outlet suggested that the Sevilla boss is hesitant to trust younger players and even asserted that he ‘doesn’t give a damn’ about Veliz.
Sanchez Flores has now responded, explaining why the Tottenham man is yet to get a start under his belt.
When asked about the striker, he told Mucho Deporte: “He needs to change the rhythm of feeling to have more chances.”

It seems like the Sevilla boss is suggesting that Veliz is yet to get back to 100 per cent match sharpness after recovering from his injury. Hopefully, the youngster will get more minutes under his belt after he is fully fit.
