Isco - Eight shots, two accurate Isco had one shot (zero on goal), eight crosses (two accurate) and five corners in Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Valladolid.

Impact Unlike the end of 2024, Isco's 2025 began without a goal, but that did not mean the midfielder attempted his absolute best to help Betis get going. In his last two games, he has created seven chances, averaging 3.5 of them during the span. A leg injury prevented Isco's availability for a lot of 2024, so he will look to get the ground running in 2025, and his latest performance was an excellent way to start.

Fran Vieites - Concedes goal Vieites had no saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-0 defeat versus Valladolid.

Impact Vieites' 2025 began similarly to how his 2024 ended, with a goal conceded. He has allowed one goal in each of his last three appearances. But unlike the other two, Vieites failed to record any saves, so he will look to bounce back next Saturday against Deportivo Alaves.

Giovani Lo Celso - Dealing with adductor injury Lo Celso suffered an adductor injury in the 1-0 loss to Valladolid and is out for the time being, Juan Pinto of Diario De Sevilla reports.

Impact The playmaker left Saturday's contest in the second half and is expected to be sidelined for around two to three weeks, meaning he'll miss Wednesday's match against Barcelona in the Copa del Rey, and at the very least, Betis' next two matches in LaLiga. He might be able to return to face Athletic Club on Feb. 2, but that'll depend on how he progresses with his recovery process.
