Real Betis received a great shock before the start of the season, after it was confirmed that its star Francesco Isco was absent until the end of next November, after a strong ankle injury during a friendly match against Malaga, the same foot that underwent surgery last season.
How dangerous is Isco
Medical examinations indicated that the player will need a period of treatment and rehabilitation of up to three months, which means his absence from 10 to 12 rounds in the Spanish League, which may affect the start of Betis in the tournament.
How does Betis plan to compensate for the absence of the Spanish star?
Isco’s absence, which was one of the most prominent elements of the team last season, may push the administration to reconsider its summer deals, especially since the player played a pivotal role in making an offensive difference, both with goals or decisive passes.
Isco’s career with Betis so far
Isco joined Real Betis in the summer of 2023 with a free transfer deal, and during the last season he participated in 33 games in which he scored 12 goals and presented 11 decisive passes, and led the team to the European Conference League final for the first time in its history.
Is the European Betis career in the absence of Isco?
The Spanish star won the award for the best player in the European Conference League for the 2024-2025 season, after his great contribution to reaching the final, which the team lost to Chelsea 4-1, and with his upcoming participation in the European championships this season, his absence will be a great challenge to coach Manuel Pellegrini.
