The legal services of Real Betis have not finally appealed to the Appeals Committee the sanction of two games imposed by the Competition Committee on Franco-Algerian Nabil Fekir for the kick which he gave to Muniain during the match against Athletic at the Benito Villamarín, an action for which he was sent off with a direct red card by the international referee Mateu Lahoz.
After carefully examining the drafting of the minutes and the resolution of the Competition Committee, the Betis jurists have chosen not to file an appeal before an Appeal -ePellegrini himself described the two-game ban as “fair” – so Fekir, who already missed the match against Celta on the last day, will be absent this Sunday in the game against Club Atlético Osasuna at the Benito Villamarín, just like the Argentine central defender German Pezzellawho saw his fifth yellow card this season in Balaídos and has been sanctioned with a one-match suspension.
The Real Betis first team will return to training this Tuesday at the Ciudad Deportiva Luis del Sol after enjoying three days of vacation, already with the presence of Manuel Pellegrini, who was absent last week from them for personal reasons. The Chilean coach compensates in a way for the casualties of Fekir and Pezzella for Sunday with the recovery of soccer players like Rui Silva, Alex Moreno, Saved and Tellowho had been asked for the last few games due to physical discomfort and are already recovered from them ahead of the decisive final sprint of the season.
