In the opening match of the new La Liga season, Real Betis drew 1-1 with Girona. Isco continued to be absent due to injury, and during his absence, Betis has been unable to win in their last four La Liga matches.
In the match between Real Betis and Girona, Fekir assisted Bartra to score the first goal in the 6th minute. However, Betis, who had a perfect start, couldn’t hold onto their lead and conceded an equalizer in the 72nd minute, settling for a 1-1 draw. Although Fekir was chosen as the MVP of the match, Real Betis still missed Isco.
In the 36th round of last season’s match against Las Palmas, Isco started the game but was substituted off at half-time due to injury. After the match, he was diagnosed with a fracture of the left fibula. He underwent surgery four days later, and according to the original recovery plan, Isco was expected to be out for three months. This also led him to miss the European Championship.
During Isco’s absence, Real Betis drew two matches and lost one in the last three rounds of last season, drawing with Las Palmas and Real Madrid, and losing 0-2 to Real Sociedad. They also drew with Girona in the first round of this season, failing to get off to a winning start.
In the press conference before the match against Girona, Pellegrini said he couldn’t confirm when Isco would return. “I don’t know when he will be 100%,” he said. However, the international break will arrive in early September, and Isco is likely to be back when La Liga restarts. The whole Real Betis team is waiting for his return.
