Real Betis has provided a first diagnosis concerning the injuries of Isco and Amrabat, both affected during the match played at La Cartuja, during the victory (2-1) against Utrecht this Thursday evening. Isco, forced out after an impact, suffered a significant contusion and a wound on his right tibia according to Marca. The medical staff carried out an initial assessment in the locker room before planning additional examinations to determine the exact severity of the injury. Coach Manuel Pellegrini clarified after the match that the playmaker had to receive 7 stitches and that he would already be out of the derby against Sevilla this Sunday.
For his part, Amrabat, also injured and replaced in the 15th minute, received a violent blow to his right leg. Betis indicates that he will undergo further examinations in the coming days to find out whether it is a simple contusion or a more serious injury. The Chilean coach suggested that his presence on Sunday also seemed very compromised… Indeed, the condition of his ankle did not reassure the staff. Two bad news for Betis, less than 72 hours from the most anticipated derby of the season at Sánchez-Pizjuán.
