William Carvalho - Training with squad Carvalho (calf) was pictured training ahead of Thursday's matchup with Granada.

Impact Carvalho has yet to get onto the pitch this season but could be nearing a return to action. Given his long-term absence, the midfielder may have to settle for an appearance or two off the bench before being truly in contention for a spot in the starting XI.

Rui Silva - Out for extended period Silva (hamstring) will be missing multiple matches after manager Manuel Pellegrini stated, "Rui Silva, since there is a FIFA break coming soon, again for the national teams, he wil...

Impact Silva made an early exit in his last match against Barcelona after picking up a hamstring injury and will now miss an extended period with this injury. At first, it was deemed minor, but after Pellegrini's comments on Wednesday, it is clear this is more serious of a knock than they expected. With Silva missing the next couple of games, you can most likely expect Claudio Bravo to get the start after returning to full fitness or Fran Vieites if Bravo is not yet ready to go.

Claudio Bravo - Available against Rangers Bravo (lower leg) is available for Thursday's clash with Rangers after being called up to the traveling squad.

Impact Bravo could see an immediate return to the starting XI on Thursday as Rui Silva was ruled out due to a hamstring injury. Bravo is a more than competent replacement with bags of experience, including experience marshaling the Betis backline.

Rui Silva - Not called up Silva (hamstring) wasn't called up for Thursday's trip to Rangers.

Impact Silva won't be an option for Thursday's Europa League opener against Rangers. The goalkeeper suffered a hamstring injury against Barcelona and will now miss at least one match. There's no definite timeline for Silva's return as he waits for the result of scans on his hamstring.

Rui Silva - Suffers hamstring injury Silva's injury suffered against Barcelona on Saturday and has been diagnosed as an adductor problem.

Impact Silva's injury was deemed minor by the team but he should certainly be considered a doubt to face Rangers on Thursday in Europa League action. With Claudio Bravo (lower leg) also injured, the club could be forced to start Fran Vieites whose only senior-team appearance came off the bench in place of Silva.

Luiz Henrique - Makes squad to face Barcelona Luiz Henrique (strain) is on the squad to face Barcelona on Saturday.

Impact The speedy winger missed Betis' last three games with an injury, but he's ready to return after completing his recovery during the international break. Given that Aitor Ruibal (abdomen) remains out, it wouldn't be surprising if Luiz Henrique moved immediately into the starting lineup.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Aitor Ruibal - Not ready to return Ruibal (abdomen) is not in the squad for Saturday's match against Barcelona.

Impact Ruibal needed an appendectomy in late August and is not ready to return. There's no clear timetable for his return to action, and given he has yet to report to training, it seems he's at least a few weeks away from being able to feature for Manuel Pellegrini's team.

William Carvalho - Not playing against Barca Carvalho (calf) is not in the squad for Saturday's match against Barcelona.

Impact Another game, another instance where Carvalho is ruled out due to a nagging calf injury that has prevented him from making his 2023/24 debut. Guido Rodriguez and Marc Roca should remain the central midfield duo, and Carvalho's next chance to play in the league will come against Cadiz on Sep. 24.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Claudio Bravo - Remains out Bravo (lower leg) is not in the squad to face Barcelona on Saturday.

Impact Bravo has been spotted in training, but he's not ready to play yet, and there's no clear timetable for his return to action. Rui Silva will remain the starting goalkeeper while Bravo remains on the sidelines.

Youssouf Sabaly - Suffers injury with Senegal Sabaly suffered a left adductor injury while on international duty with Senegal and Betis have not provided a timetable for his return.

Impact Sabaly's tenure with Betis has been marred by injuries, but the Spanish club is relieved that the injury is not the same one that affected the full-back during the 2021/22 season. Sabaly has been limited to just 36 league appearances with Betis since the start of the 2021/22 campaign, and Hector Bellerin should be in line for more minutes while Sabaly is sidelined.

Nabil Fekir - Medically cleared for training Fekir (knee) has been cleared to begin training with the squad. Team president Angel Haro told reporters Thursday, "Fekir already has a medical discharge, and that is great news, n...

Impact Fekir is likely still a few weeks from returning with manager Manuel Pellegrini having previously mentioned late October or early November as a potential return date. Last season, the midfielder started 12 of his 15 appearances for the club in which he recorded two goals on 25 shots (eight on target), two assists, 48 crosses (10 accurate) and 33 corners. Once Fekir is back in the starting XI, Isco figures to have to at least share a portion of the corner-taking duties.

Luiz Felipe - Transfer to Saudi Felipe will be transferring to Al-Ittihad from Betis, announced by the clubs on Thursday.

Impact Felipe will be joining the likes of Karim Benzema and N'golo Kante after being dealt to the Saudi Arabian side Al-Ittihad from Betis on Thursday. The Brazilian accumulated 32 appearances over the past two seasons for Betis, registering 44 tackles, 41 interceptions and 136 clearances during his time with the club. This transfer will leave Betis with a hole in the defense, as the defender has started all four games this season. Expect the likes of Juan Miranda, Jose Calderon or Marc Bartra to start in the middle of the defense with Felipe leaving.

Luiz Henrique - On training pitch Henrique (strain) was pictured in training Wednesday during the international break.

Impact Henrique missed the club's last three contests due to his muscular injury but appears to be trending in the right direction. If the attacking midfielder is deemed fit for the club's Sept. 16 matchup with Barcelona, he could be in contention to feature after having been included in the starting XI for the season opener against Villarreal. Once Henrique is given the all-clear, both Aitor Ruibal (abdomen) and Rodri could be headed back to the bench.
