Sevilla boss Luis García Plaza has revealed Robbie Ure will need time to adjust to La Liga because he's not used to playing in high temperatures.

The 22-year-old Scottish striker helped Sevilla make it two wins out of two in the Spanish top flight after an impressive 3-1 win at Athletic Bilbao, which followed on from last week's home victory against Rayo Vallecano.

Ure started for the first time and played the full 90 minutes in high temperatures in Bilbao's San Mames ground.

And Plaza knows Ure will have to adjust to the heat after signing for Sevilla from Swedish league leaders Sirius.

He said: "Robbie Ure was exhausted, but we couldn't substitute him.

"He was really suffering from the heat.

"I'm not joking. In training the other day he was saying to me, 'this heat is crazy!'

"I mean, he’s just come from Sweden and he is not used to playing in these high temperatures.

"He is a young lad who has just come into the team and he will need time to adapt.

"But he will. This is a long season and he has contributed to us gaining six points out of six from the opening two matches."
