The note made public by Betis does not speak of the approximate time that Dani Martín will be out, to which the Verdiblanco club had the intention of giving up to another team this season so that he could accumulate minutes of play, but a good number of weeks will not there may be someone to take them away, so the intended transfer could be frustrated.

Real Betis player Dani Martín was operated on yesterday to resolve a grade 3 sprain of his left ankle, which originated in training with the Spanish Under-21 team. The goalkeeper was successfully operated on at the Viamed Santa Angela de la Cruz Hospital by the Club's medical services.

On the other hand, Francis Guerrero, who since last January was assigned to the ranks of UD Almería, intends to undergo surgery for a delicate knee injury, which has been giving him recurring problems for years.

Conservative treatments have not given the expected result, as Francis is forced to exercise extreme caution in training sessions and stop often, which has meant that in his last stage in Almería he only played 277 ’, spread over 8 league games.

Francis, who made his debut with the U21 team in September 2018 as a right-back -the left-back was Alfonso Pedraza- debuted in First under the hand of Quique Setién, with whom he was one of the fixed players and played 42 games in the 2017/18 and 2018/19 seasons -between the League, the Cup and the Europa League-, a reason that led to it being renewed in March 2019 until June 2023, which is why he has three years remaining on his contract with Betis. With Rubi, he only participated last season in the cup game against Antoniano – who played in full – on December 19, 2019, weeks before leaving on loan to Almería.

Francis already began to do the preseason in the summer of 2016 with the first team of Real Betis, under the command of Gustavo Poyet, but had to leave it after suffering a stroke in his right knee after a collision in a friendly played in the Marbella Football Center against Palo (7-0).
