Isco - Leaves match injured Isco was forced off the pitch in the 89th minute of Saturday's match against Mallorca with an apparent injury.

Impact Isco was unfortunate to pick up an injury right before the whistle blew for full-time in Saturday's match. The knock appeared to be more of a cramp than anything, so it should not be viewed as a long-term injury. However, if the attacker does miss time with the injury, it was at a perfect time with Nabil Fekir returning for this match.

Impact Fekir was introduced back into the squad on Saturday, appearing for three minutes as a substitute after Isco left the match injured. Fekir didn't have much time to prove that he was at full fitness, not providing a single stat, but his appearance should mean that he is 100 percent healthy. It wouldn't be a surprise to see the attacking midfielder back in the starting XI next match, especially with Isco going down with an injury.

This will add a whole new dimension to the Betis attack, as they now have their best attacker back with them after a nine-month absence due to ACL surgery. It is hard to tell if the attacking midfielder will be in the starting XI for his first match back after such a serious injury, but it could be a possibility, sending Assane Diao Diaoune to the bench.
