New setback for Betis in the form of an injury to one of their important men. In this case, the main reference of the team, Lo Celsowho in his call-up with the Argentine national team has suffered a physical mishap, the details of which became known this Thursday. A must have for Manuel PellegriniKO, as happened before with William Carvalho and with Isco.
According to the medical report released by the club’s medical services, Giovani Lo Celso suffers a moderate myotendinous injury to the rectus femoris of his right thigh, which means between four and six weeks of sick leave. This means, for now, that he will not travel to Pamplona this Friday to face Osasuna on Saturday. That was almost expected, but the outlook is much worse.
In this way, the South American attacker will not be available to Manuel Pellegrini for the seven meetings in the next 23 days: Osasuna, this Saturday, Atlético de Madrid, Athletic Club and Celta, in LaLiga; Copenhagen and Celje in the Conference League; and CD Gévora from the Copa del Rey (although in this match the Argentine was very likely to rest). From there, with the recovery process and the fact that he may not attend the next call for Lionel Scaloni of the month of November, would mark his availability starting with the visit to Valencia scheduled for the weekend of November 23 and 24. In the worst case scenario, the player from Rosario would not reappear until after the Conference clash against Mlada Boleslav, scheduled for Thursday, November 28.
Without Lo Celso or Isco or Carvalhoinjured, but also without Rodri, Guido Rodríguez, Fekir or Ayozetransferred, the panorama of the midfield for Betis has changed dramatically in just a few weeks. Pellegrini will now have to use Fornals and Abde as essential pieces in the three-quarter line. The first of them is the only pure playmaker that the coach can count on.
