On 1 January 2010, Sevilla's medical services detected some cardiac pathology inSergio Sánchez's heart and they recommended to him to stop his activity with the team. In May 2010, he was surgical operated inHamburg, Germany, and received orders of resting during six or seven months, when there will be valued (beginning of 2011) the possibility of returning to play football.[33] On 27 December 2010, doctors at Vall d'Hebrón Hospital inBarcelona had officially told Sevilla that Sánchez has passed the latest tests about his recovery because of the surgical operation, so he can play football again from 2011.[34]
On 16 September 2010, in theEuropa League match againstParis Saint-Germain,Jesús Navas twisted his left ankle. He had to be replaced during that match because he couldn't walk as usual. His injury didn't appear serious, and he was considered recovered and fit to play in the pre-gameEuropa League againstBorussia Dortmund at theWestfalenstadion. He had to be replaced on 76' because of a strong relapse. He was replaced byJulien Escudé. During October, it was thought that he needed surgery. He submitted it on 1 November inVitoria-Gasteiz. He was operated by Dr. Mikel Sánchez and could return to play after Christmas, on 2 January againstOsasuna.
On 6 November 2010, Sevilla's medical services discovered a strange injury inTiberio Guarente's leg that required treatment, ultimately sidelining him for six months.[35]
In a training session prior to a match againstMallorca, Jesús Navas had discomfort in his left ankle, whichhad been twisted in the beginning of the session in a Europa League match againstParis Saint-Germain. He was not called to that match and medical tests were made. It was discovered that he suffered from a relapse of that injury, a stress fracture in his ankle that will keep him out of play for six weeks. It is believed he will not play more in the remainder of the season.

After the successful end of the2009–10 season, during which the team could qualify for the qualifying round 4 of theUEFA Champions League thanks to a goal fromRodri inAlmería in the 95th minute, and the achievement of the2009–10 Copa del Rey, won the fifth time in club's history, Antonio Álvarez was renowned as the team coach. After an uncertain pre-season with signings that did not seem to provide a good performance, as well as a hesitant start inChampions League and disastrous atEurope League, the directive issued an ultimatum to Álvarez: His team could not lose inAlicante againstHércules. Sevilla, however, fell precipitously;Trezeguet scored twice on 26 September at theEstadio José Rico Perez. After an impromptu meeting of the directive inSeville, on the morning from 26 to 27 September, Álvarez was sacked, withGregorio Manzano announced as his replacement for the remainder of the season.

Three years ago, on 2008 Christmas,Frédéric Kanouté and his own foundation organized a special Christmas match withUnicef trying to help African kids about their education with the ticket's prices and the anonymous donations. The first edition was held in Seville at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán, with a smaller support than in 2009 when the match was organized inMadrid at theSantiago Bernabéu, with three-quarters of the stadium full of fans. Both matches have been broadcast in some foreign countries, like United Kingdom and Mali. This year, with more help for the Fundación Kanouté, the match will be held at theVicente Calderón, the home ofAtlético Madrid, on 29 December. Africa United coachJosé Mourinho starred the funniest anecdotes of the match, taking with him his sons, who threw the ball to one of the goalkeepers of his father's team at half-time,Andrés Palop. In addition, Mourinho plated the linesman in the second-half due to the many marked offsides against his team and took with him to an amateur teen who jumped into the Vicente Calderón to greet a player of the Liga BBVA XI.

After completing the game between Sevilla andLevante (4–1 home win), the stadium lights went out suddenly after the referees and Levante players retired from the pitch. In the video scoreboard it was shown a video withAndrés Palop's voice background encouraging Sevilla fans to go to the stadium on 26 January to watch thefirst leg of Copa del Rey Semifinals against Real Madrid CF. The video ended with an image of theCopa del Rey and the phrases "¿Quieres otra Copa?" [Do you want another Cup?] and "Que ningún madridista te quite el asiento" ("Try to avoid that any Real Madrid fan steals your seat") and "Vamos Deixar-te Sem o Título"(in Portuguese) ("We will leave you without the title"). The press inMadrid, akin toReal Madrid, slammed this initiative, considering it disrespectful.
They identified the "We will leaveyou without the title" as an offensive reference to Real Madrid'sJosé Mourinho. Sevilla also distributed leaflets with the same image and the same phrases. Sevilla coachGregorio Manzano said at the news conference that he had not seen them. When a reporter gave him one, he just said that "it was an original initiative".
On 11 February 2011, theLiga de Fútbol Profesional (LFP) officially announced a planned strike for La Liga matchday 30 (1, 2 and 3 April 2011) if the Spanish government did not forbid a new TV law regarding La Liga broadcasting. and if it does not give the league a sufficient part of the earnings fromLa Quiniela, a football pool run bythe state lottery. Following Spanish law, at least one match of each La Liga matchday must be broadcast by common TV (laSexta, on the Spanish TDT). The LFP wanted to force pay TV channels and radio stations to broadcast entire matches or summaries too. On 22 March, the LFP announced that nothing had changed to that moment and the strike was official. Seven La Liga teams (Villarreal,Real Sociedad,Athletic Bilbao,Espanyol,Zaragoza,Sevilla andMálaga) had made official their decision about playing that matchday as usual, presenting an interim measure before a court ofMadrid. LFP Vice-president (and Sevilla FC vice-president) stepped down, citing disagreement with the decision taken by the LFP in February, calling it coercion.
After weeks of discussions without reaching any conclusion, the judge presiding over the case, Ms. Purificación Pujol, announced on 30 March that the seven La Liga clubs, along withReal Madrid andBarcelona, which joined days after, were right. Therefore, the same morning, the LFP had to organize on the fly the schedule of matchdays 30 in La Liga and 32 in theLiga Adelante.
