Betis Returns to Training After Rest Day, Injury Updates Provided

omidbasir- After a rest day granted by Manuel Pellegrini, the Real Betis first team returned to training on Tuesday at the Ciudad Deportiva Luis del Sol. The session was closed to the public, and notable participants included Cucho Hernández and Chimy Ávila, both of whom have rejoined the group, while Héctor Bellerín participated partially, indicating progress towards their full return to the field.

Last week, the trio engaged in some training sessions; however, the coaching staff opted to exclude them from the matchday squad to allow for additional recovery time. It appears that both the Colombian and Argentine forwards will be available for the upcoming match against Rayo Vallecano this Saturday, a game that Betis can prepare for throughout the week. As for Bellerín, his partial training with the team raises questions about whether he will be ready for this weekend or if he will target a return in the following week’s Sevilla derby.

Antony, who has been dealing with pubalgia issues, has been training inside the facilities. He has been alternating between gym workouts and sessions on the pitch to avoid overexerting himself and to arrive in optimal condition for upcoming matches. Currently, the only injured players still sidelined are Isco Alarcón, Sofyan Amrabat, and Giovani Lo Celso. Among them, Amrabat is expected to be the first to return to play, as he is currently in the final stages of his recovery in the Netherlands and is anticipated to be back in Sevilla by the end of this week or the beginning of the next.
