Pellegrini is left without full-backs against Atlético

Manuel Pellegrini has practically been left without full-backs for the game that the Real Betis will play this Sunday against Atletico Madrid at the Benito Villamarín (9pm), with the Champions League place at stake. This Saturday, in the last training session prior to the clash, the Chilean coach was unable to count on the support of Héctor Bellerín and Álex Moreno, who join the already known casualties on the sides of Juan Miranda and Martín Montoya, so only He is in a position to play the Franco-Senegalese Youssouf Sabaly, who was already a starter last Thursday in the match against Rayo.

Bellerón has been suffering from discomfort since the game with Sevilla FC last Sunday and Álex Moreno is putting up with a heavy load of games, being, together with Fekir and Canales, the footballer who has accumulated the most minutes on the Betis squad so far this season, since started 2022 Álex Moreno has been a starter in 12 of the 14 games played by Betis, and he has played all of them complete, except for the League match against Rayo in Vallecas, where he was sent off after 33 minutes.

Given the accumulation of casualties on the flanks, it is possible that Manuel Pellegrini, as he has done on other occasions, opts to place Aitor Ruibal on the right side and move Sabaly to the left, although the possibility that one of the center backs, in the case of Víctor Ruiz or Bartra, lean on one of the wings. Midfielder Sergio Canales is also absent for this Sunday’s clash due to the accumulation of cautions.
