Real Betis has received worrying news following the latest training session at the Luis del Sol Sports City.

Attacker Rodrigo Riquelme suffered various physical discomforts that forced him to leave early, raising alarms within the coaching staff led by Manuel Pellegrini.

After undergoing the necessary medical tests by the club’s medical staff, the definitive diagnosis has been confirmed. The player is suffering from a mild proximal myotendinous injury of the left adductor longus muscle. 

The official statement issued by the Verdiblanco club does not specify an exact period of absence. 

Important loss for Pellegrini

This absence represents a significant tactical setback for Betis, as Riquelme had become a key source of energy and flair in the team’s setup.

His absence will force the coach to look for alternatives on the wings for the upcoming matches, as the schedule begins to tighten with the arrival of European competitions and the Copa del Rey.
