Real Betis announces the return of Senegalese international Youssouf Sabaly to Manuel Pellegrini’s squad after an extended period of absence due to injury. Sabaly is set to feature in the squad for the eagerly anticipated match against Deportivo Alavés this Sunday evening, marking a significant moment in the defender’s recovery journey.
Having been sidelined since last September due to an injury sustained in the adductors of his left leg during a match against Algeria, the 30-year-old right-back faced a challenging road to rehabilitation.
The setback proved costly for Sabaly, as a relapse occurred in November, resulting in a grade 2 sprain of the internal ligament of his right knee.
Unfortunately, this complication prevented him from participating in any matches during the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations with the Senegal national team.
However, after an arduous and dedicated three-month rehabilitation process, Youssouf Sabaly has successfully regained his fitness and skills. Manuel Pellegrini, expressing confidence in Sabaly’s readiness, included him in the squad for the 25th day of LaLiga.
The announcement was made through Real Betis’s official platform, indicating the club’s enthusiasm for Sabaly’s return.
The Senegalese right-back’s availability adds depth and experience to the squad, providing Pellegrini with additional options for the upcoming clash against Deportivo Alavés at home this Sunday at 8:00 p.m. GMT.
As Sabaly prepares to make his return to competitive action, Real Betis fans eagerly anticipate the impact of his presence on the field, hoping for a positive contribution in the remainder of the LaLiga season.
