Betis returned to training after having suspended its last two sessions due to the positives for Covid-19 that emerged yesterday. After the unknowns that arose and the logical concern, the team resumed activity after having the OK after the PCR tests carried out yesterday. Manuel Pellegrini thus returns to direct his own in Marbella in a stage conditioned by the circumstances: Loren tested positive for Covid-19 before heading to Malaga and yesterday two new cases appeared without the names of the players being made public. Normalcy, for now, returns: in accordance with LaLiga the team continues its training while waiting for the next test.
The return to training is a margin of tranquility for the Verdiblanco team, which thus continues the start of its preseason with a view to that hypothetical league return on September 12. The footballers present in Marbella under Pellegrini's orders, as well as the coaching staff, will carry out new tests tomorrow, which could mean that as of next week the squad can move on to the next phase and train in groups. The technician takes advantage of all these sessions to take his first pulse with a team that expects market movements in the coming days.

Since yesterday Betis has made even more security measures in the hotel complex where it is present in Marbella. The players only leave their room to go to training and the bus was disinfected in addition to all the facilities used. Caution reigns for the moment in the first week at the command of Pellegrini, who has no signings at his disposal while Antonio Cordón continues to plan the changes that may occur in the squad and under a highly conditioned economic framework.
