Sevilla's players celebrated with their manager as they scored the equaliser against Liverpool in the Champions League

Sevilla head coach Eduardo Berizzo will have surgery on Tuesday after being diagnosed with prostate cancer earlier this month.

The 48-year-old's condition was made public after his side came from three goals down to draw 3-3 with Liverpool in the Champions League last week.

Sevilla say Berizzo's return to the La Liga side's dugout will depend on his recovery after the operation.

Assistant manager Ernesto Marcucci will take charge in the meantime.

Berizzo was appointed Sevilla head coach in the summer on a two-year deal, following a three-year stint at Celta Vigo.
