Two Positive Updates Emerge from Today’s Training Session

Real Betis is facing significant challenges as they enter a crucial two-week phase in their season. This period features several key competitions, including an important Europa League match against Feyenoord.

Training Session Insights: Key Players Missing

On Wednesday morning, despite adverse weather conditions in Seville, the team held their second training session of the week. Unfortunately, the roster was notably affected by injuries.

  • Confirmed absentees included Isco, Junior, Cucho, Riquelme, Amrabat, Lo Celso, and Bellerin.
  • While Bellerin is expected to resume training next week, he will not participate in Thursday’s match.

Positive Updates From Training Session

Despite the injury setbacks, there were encouraging developments during the training. Two critical players returned to the squad:

  • Antony: Although still experiencing pubic discomfort, his return to training signals possible improvement.
  • Aitor Ruibal: After recovering from a muscle injury sustained during the match against PAOK last Thursday, he will likely contribute to the upcoming game.

Upcoming Match Details

The match against Feyenoord is set to take place at 21:00 hours in La Cartuja. Coach Manuel Pellegrini hopes to have both Antony and Aitor available, even amid the team’s extensive injury list. There’s optimism that many players will gradually return to full fitness.

This combination of significant injuries and the return of key players puts Real Betis in a precarious yet hopeful position as they strive for a spot among the top eight in the Europa League group stage.
