🔙 Cucho Hernández and Diego Llorente back with the Betis squad | OneFootball

Good news for Betis in a crucial week. Cucho Hernández trained as normal this Thursday, putting to rest doubts about his physical condition after the scare at Montilivi.

The Colombian striker had to be substituted last Tuesday against Girona after taking a heavy blow to the knee, but his recovery has been positive and he is expected to start in the next league match.

The morning session at the Luis del Sol training ground also brought another notable update: Diego Llorente has rejoined training with the group.

The Madrid-born centre-back, a key piece in Manuel Pellegrini’s defensive setup, has overcome his discomfort and trained at the same pace as his teammates, strengthening the Betis back line ahead of one of the toughest challenges of the season.

These returns are a welcome boost for the Chilean coach on the eve of Real Madrid’s visit.
