Cristian Tello, who had regained ownership in the last two games in the ranks of the Real Betis, has not started this Friday the last training of the Betic team with the rest of his teammates, and will be out in the clash against the Real Madrid to be played at the stadium Alfredo di Stéfano from the Madrid sports city. Tello's absence has been confirmed by Pellegrini at a press conference: “He suffered a strong blow in the match against Athletic and had to be replaced for it. He has not recovered and is low for the game against Madrid, like Nabil Fekir due to suspension, ”said the Betic coach.
For the clash against the meringues, the French international Nabil Fekir is also safe, sanctioned with a match by the Competition Committee for the expulsion suffered on Wednesday against Athletic. The casualties of Fekir and Tello can be covered by Guardado -with which Canales would advance his position- and Joaquín or Lainez.
The only players who have started the last two games played in the last five days, apart from Fekir and Tello, are Claudio Bravo, Emerson, Mandi, Guido Rodríguez and Canales, all of whom are very likely to repeat in the title in the clash against Real Madrid, as they tend to be fixed in Pelllegrini's schemes.
