The 36-year-old midfielder played in five World Cups and four CONCACAF Gold Cups from 2006-2022, winning the continental tournament on three occasions in 2011, 2015 and 2019.

Youssouf Sabaly - Scores rare goal Sabaly scored one goal to go with one shot (one on target) and one chance created in Monday's 3-1 victory versus Rayo Vallecano. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 46th...

Impact Sabaly scored his first league goal since the 202-21 season to put Betis in the lead Monday. It was his second start in a row since returning from an ankle injury. The defender has totaled 20 clearances, 10 interceptions and 15 tackles (11 won) in in the last seven games.

Impact Felipe is back after having missed just one match due to his thigh problem. In his last six outings, the central defender generated 28 clearances, 10 tackles (six won) and seven interceptions. Barring any setbacks, Felipe should be in contention to reclaim his place in the starting XI against Sevilla on May 21.

Victor Ruiz - Left out versus Rayo Vallecano Ruiz (strain) was not included in the match-day squad against Rayo Vallecano on Monday.

Impact Ruiz has been out of the squad since April 2 against Atletico Madrid, missing six consecutive contests due to his muscular injury. Even once cleared to play, the central defender may be hard-pressed to break into the starting XI and figures to serve primarily as a reserve option down the stretch.

MAY 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Edgar Gonzalez - Eligible to return Monday Gonzalez has served his one-match ban and will be available against Rayo Vallecano on Monday.

Impact Gonzalez has started just two of his last six contests, so he is far from a lock for the starting XI heading into Monday's matchup. In those appearances, the central defender registered one shot (off target), 16 clearances and four tackles (four won). If Gonzalez can get onto the pitch, he is unlikely to offer much in terms of offensive upside but figures to rack up plenty of defensive stats.

Willian Jose - Finally scores goal Jose scored one goal to go with four shots (one on goal) and two chances created in Thursday's 1-0 win over Athletic.

Impact Jose has his first goal since Feb. 24. Between that day and May 4, he went two months without scoring across nine appearances of 11 games Betis played. Ideally for Jose, his goal drought's end will signify better form to come. This is especially important now, as the Brazilian striker earned starting XI spots across back-to-back appearances.

Juan Miranda - Records eight clearances Miranda had eight clearances in Thursday's 1-0 win versus Athletic.

Impact Betis maintained four clean sheets across eight games the team played from March 19 to May 4. Unsurprisingly, Miranda played a significant part in Betis' defensive success. He logged 29 clearances and 10 interceptions without sitting out any games.

Akouokou logged Betis' best clearance tally, which helped the team maintain a welcome clean sheet. Now, the question is whether or not Akoukou's latest log will earn him another starting XI opportunity when the Betis team hosts Rayo Vallecano on May 15. He barely played more than 90 minutes from January to April.

Youssouf Sabaly - Four clearances across 90 Sabaly had four clearances, two shots (zero on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Thursday's 1-0 win over Athletic.

Impact Sabaly's four clearances played an essential part in Betis maintaining a clean sheet Thursday. And by playing each minute of Betis' most recent game, he has indicated his readiness to regularly play again. That should be the case as Betis' May schedule continues.

MAY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Claudio Bravo - Seven-save clean sheet Bravo had seven saves and two clearances in Thursday's 1-0 win over Athletic.

Impact Bravo logged his first appearance since March 5, and the performance was Bravo's best as a Betis goalkeeper across his 2022-23 La Liga season. He replaced Rui Silva, who was either a healthy scratch or demoted due to his recent form. Regardless, Bravo will look to be in Betis' starting XI again when the team hosts Rayo Vallecano on May 15.

MAY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Youssouf Sabaly - Starting against Athletic Sabaly (ankle) will be in the starting XI for Thursday's matchup with Athletic.

In his previous five appearances, the right-back managed one assist, four shots (one on target), four crosses (zero accurate) and 16 clearances. Martin Montoya figures to be relegated to a bench role moving forward with Sabaly back.
