Manuel Pellegrini has organized again for this Thursday a training match between the first team and the subsidiary, behind closed doors at the stadium Benito Villamarin, at approximately the same time (6.30pm) at which the game will finally be played next Sunday, after LaLiga advanced the schedule yesterday, initially scheduled for Monday night.
The Chilean coach, who could only see his players in action in three pre-season friendlies, likes to organize these games against the subsidiary to test the team with which he plans to play the next game. This will be the third confrontation of the course between the players of the first team and those of the Betis Deportivo, who sparred in the preseason when a friendly against Farense was suspended and they met again with the elders last Thursday.
In that game last Thursday, Mexican Andrés Guarded was injured, who to date has not returned to train with the group, and neither has Tonny Sanabria, so neither of them will be able to reappear on Sunday against Valladolid.
Pellegrini has the highs of Victor Ruiz and Juanmi And it is possible that he will start giving minutes to Loren, who was the team's top scorer last season and has missed several weeks of training due to the coronavirus, which is why the goalkeeper from Pucelano, Jordi Masip, will not be there on Sunday. He deprived his team of the victory against Real last day with a major error. In the starting eleven of Betis this Sunday very few changes are expected, to be added one if Juanmi or Ruibal enter for Joaquín.
