An update on the fitness and well-being of the Real Betis squad has been provided today ahead of the start of the new La Liga campaign.

Betis has the ambition of consolidating their position in European competition this season, while also continuing to be a competitive outfit in the league. In a year where the physical demand will be even higher than normal due to the accumulation of matches, injury management will play a crucial role in the green and white team’s performance.

However, the importance of proper recovery and the prevention of new injuries can’t be underestimated. The way Betis manage these aspects will play a determining role in whether the club achieve their aims in La Liga, the Copa del Rey and in Europe.

Betis begin their league campaign by hosting overachievers Girona, who will be looking to build on their historic season last time out. As reported by Relevo, star player Isco remains doubtful for the league opener.

The man from Malaga suffered a foot fracture and subsequently underwent surgery in May. The player is still in the recovery process and although he was able to step on grass in August, the club do not want to take any unnecessary risks.

Forward Cédric Bakambu remains out with an injury picked up last season and he will certainly miss the start of the term. Meanwhile, Nobel Mendy is seriously injured due to a mishap in the preseason encounter against Cádiz and the defender is expected to be out until the end of September at least. Rajan Sangha | GSFN
