Real Betis have received a welcome boost ahead of their crucial La Liga clash against Real Madrid, with Senegalese right-back Youssouf Sabaly returning to full training. However, Moroccan winger Abdessamad Ezzalzouli remains unavailable as he continues to recover from a concussion.
Sabaly Back in Training
After missing training on Tuesday to complete an individual gym session, Sabaly rejoined his teammates on Wednesday without any complications.
His return eases concerns over his fitness and puts him in contention to start against Real Madrid on matchday 26 of La Liga.
The experienced defender’s availability is a significant advantage for manager Manuel Pellegrini, who will rely on Sabaly’s defensive solidity against Real Madrid’s attacking firepower.
With Betis aiming to secure a positive result in the highly anticipated fixture, the Senegalese international’s presence adds stability to the backline.
Ezzalzouli’s Recovery Continues
Meanwhile, Ezzalzouli remains unavailable as he continues his recovery from a concussion that ruled him out of Betis’ previous match.
The club is taking a cautious approach, prioritizing his full recovery before allowing him to return to training.
The Moroccan winger’s absence is a setback for Betis, given his attacking threat and ability to unlock defenses.
His availability for the upcoming clash remains uncertain, with the medical staff closely monitoring his progress.
Squad Reinforcements
Despite Ezzalzouli’s absence, Betis have been boosted by the return of Antony, whose red card from the previous match was overturned.
This development strengthens Pellegrini’s options as he prepares his squad for the difficult test against Real Madrid.
With Sabaly back in contention and Ezzalzouli’s status still uncertain, Betis will be hoping to field a competitive squad as they look to challenge one of La Liga’s top sides.
