📸 Isco back on the ball, Real Betis close to the magician’s return | OneFootball

Luis del Sol Sports City was today the setting for the news Betis fans had been waiting for most eagerly.

Real Betis Balompié has shared images of Isco Alarcón training with the ball, a huge step forward in his recovery process.

After months out with a serious injury, the Málaga-born player is back in contact with the ball, sparking excitement among the entire green-and-white fanbase.

Isco Alarcón is heading into his third season in Heliópolis, firmly established as the undisputed leader in the dressing room. Although last season was cut short by a fractured fibula that kept him out of key moments, his return comes at the perfect time for Manuel Pellegrini’s system. 

With Betis competing on three fronts — La Liga, the Copa del Rey and the Europa League — Isco’s return feels crucial if the team is to make that qualitative leap toward the Champions League places. 

The club will remain cautious with the timeline, but seeing Isco back on the ball confirms that the magic is close to returning.
