In view of the Betis – Atlético de Madrid which will be played in the afternoon this Sunday starting at 6:30 p.m., the team led by Pellegrini has returned to the grass of the sports city this Saturday to finish the preparations for that match corresponding to the eleventh day of LaLiga EA Sports in the last of the training sessions planned before the coach’s press conference and the subsequent call. In that session some clues were given about the integration of one of its troops.

The great novelty of the preparation in this sense has undoubtedly been the inclusion of the African striker Bakambuwho was substituted at half-time on Thursday due to a muscle contracture, as Pellegrini specified in the press conference after the duel against the Danes: «Cédric felt a contracture and we did not want to risk it for the second half. Stopping, I don’t think I’ll have any problems. I hope it will be there by Sunday. And that’s how it looks given that the forward has exercised without any major problems and aims to add to the squad list, being another case of the workload dosage strategy that the club has been implementing to avoid more serious injuries.

Unlike other commitments, the Chilean coach wanted to finish off the green and white team’s preparation at the Luis del Sol sports city instead of at the venue of the match itself, a Villamarín that hopes the team improves its performance after the disappointing draw. against Copenhagen last Thursday in the UEFA Conference League, where Abde’s great goal did not help to unbalance the match (1-1).

Regarding the absences from today’s session, there are once again four names marked in the Betic infirmary due to their different injuries from most to least serious: Lo Celso, Isco, William Carvalho and Marc Roca They will be out again after they have not jumped on the field mat of the green and white sports city. The youth squad Mateo Flores has been part of the list of players who continue to prepare for the clash against the colchoneros.
