Rodri - Comes off bench to bag assist Rodri registered an assist and created three chances in Saturday's 3-2 loss to Osasuna.

Impact Rodri crossed for Guido Rodriguez to head home and now has three assists for the season, a career high. It was the second game running in which he came off the bench to register an assist. The midfielder has been in and out of the starting XI in recent months and Manuel Pellegrini could decide to shuffle the pack for the midweek game against Real Sociedad.

Impact With his team trailing 3-1, Rodriguez scored his first of the season to give his side hope of rescuing a point. The defensive midfielder rarely finds himself amongst the goals but ranks third in La Liga for tackles won this season.

Juan Miranda - Scores in defeat Miranda scored once from two shots (both on target) and took three corners in Saturday's 3-2 defeat to Osasuna.

Impact Miranda scored his second goal in as many games but did not know too much about it, as Luiz Henrique's shot deflected off him and bounced past the keeper. He now has three goals for the season, two more than he has managed in any previous season.

Rui Silva - Concedes three in loss Silva conceded three goals and made two saves in Saturday's 3-2 loss to Osasuna.

German Pezzella - Should be available for weekend Pezzella (ankle) was called up by Betis for Saturday's clash against Osasuna.

Impact Pezzella missed last weekend's win over Espanyol with an ankle injury he suffered in the previous match against Cadiz, but he has recovered now and should be in the squad against Osasuna. He could potentially slot straight back into the lineup over Edgar Gonzalez in central defense if he's fit enough.

Jimenez Juanmi - Out with illness Juanmi has not been called up by Betis for Saturday's clash against Osasuna as he's dealing with a fever, Marca reports.

Impact Juanmi has started just four of Betis' 14 La Liga matches in 2023, scoring two goals in that span and ultimately failing thus far to return to the form he was enjoying last season before undergoing ankle surgery in September. He will not be available against Osasuna this weekend as he works through this illness.

Sergio Canales - Suspension on hold Canales is appealing his four-match ban and is currently available against Osasuna on Saturday, per Marca.

Impact Canales' suspension hold could be changed prior to Saturday's matchup, so fantasy players will need to closely monitor the situation. For now, manager Manuel Pellegrini has included him in the match-day squad in order to make him available while the appeal is ongoing.

Charismatic Betis captain Joaquín Sánchez set to retire

Charismatic Real Betis captain Joaquín Sánchez has announced he will retire at the end of the season

APRIL 19, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Joaquin - Set to retire after season ends Joaquin announced that he will retire at the end of the season at the age of 41.

Impact Joaquin will hang up his cleats after this season after playing 23 years of professional football. He began his career with Betis in 2000, but spent a few years with Valencia, Malaga and Fiorentina until returning to Betis in 2015. The forward scored 86 goals in 729 appearances. He won the Copa de Rey title three times, twice with Real Betis and once with Valencia. However, he failed to have much success in international competitions, making 51 appearances with Spain's senior team between 2002-2007 and totaling just four goals in that span.

Aitor Ruibal - Suspension served Ruibal served a one-match ban and is now eligible for selection once more.

Impact Ruibal was sent off during a 2-0 loss to Cadiz and earned a one-match ban. The defender is eligible to return for Saturday's trip to Osasuna, though he is unlikely to be anything more than a bench option.

Rodri - Records assist Rodri assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 3-1 win against Espanyol.

Impact Rodri logged the assist to Betis' third goal, which William Carvalho scored. Rodri's contribution was his first since he suffered an undisclosed injury that forced him to sit out twice during the second half of February. The assist also ended a small contribution drought Rodri suffered from March 5 to April 9, which could ultimately explain why he was a substitute Saturday. However, that should not be a problem moving forward.

Ayoze Perez - Goal and assist Perez scored one goal and assisted once from three shots and two chances created in Saturday's 3-1 win versus Espanyol.

Impact Perez scored Betis' first goal. Seven minutes after scoring, he logged the assist to Betis' second goal, which Juan Miranda scored. Both contributions were his first since being loaned from Leicester City. Ideally for Perez, having these droughts off his back will help him establish a valuable pace to goal contributing that was not there previously.

William Carvalho - Finally scores again Carvalho scored one goal to go with four shots (two on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-1 win over Espanyol.

Impact Carvalho logged his first goal since Oct. 16, when he recorded a much rarer brace. Between that date and Saturday, the 31-year-old mostly served as a midfielder across 16 games during which he failed to score. With that in mind, fantasy managers should only expect him suddenly increasing his scoring rate if he continues receiving starts as an attacking midfielder.

Juan Miranda - Redeems himself Miranda scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), eight crosses (four accurate) and four corners in Saturday's 3-1 win versus Espanyol.

Impact During the Betis team's previous game, Miranda logged a foul that allowed Ruben Alcaraz to score his penalty-kick goal. But on Sunday, Miranda recorded his first goal since Feb. 24. Miranda's contribution compensated for his previous transgression.

Rui Silva - Records three clearances Silva registered three saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 3-1 win over Espanyol.

Impact Silva's three clearances helped boost his latest log, which would have been relatively pedestrian had they not been recorded. Now, he will prepare for a visit at Osasuna on Saturday.

Impact Pezzella picked up an ankle injury in last weekend's defeat against Cadiz, and he's been ruled out for Saturday's match now as well. Edgar Gonzalez is replacing him at center-back in the XI.

Sergio Canales - Suspended Saturday Canales was given a straight red card against Cadiz on Sunday and will be suspended versus Espanyol on Saturday.

Impact In his last five contests (three starts), Canales recorded two shots (zero on target), 19 crosses (five accurate) and 13 corners. Without the attacking midfielder in the squad, Luiz Henrique could be in the mix for a spot in the starting XI. Once eligible to return, Canales should be a near-lock to get back onto the pitch versus Osasuna on April 22.

Victor Ruiz - Out with muscle injury Ruiz missed Sunday's clash with Cadiz due to a muscular injury he suffered in training, according to Chiringuito TV.

Impact Ruiz has been a limited option even when fully fit and available, but it appears he is less than that after suffering a training issue. Any sort of timeline for his return is unclear, though he is a doubt for Saturday's clash with Espanyol.

German Pezzella - Comes off holding ankle Pezzella (ankle) came off holding his ankle during Sunday's 2-0 loss to Cadiz.

Impact Pezzella lasted just 22 minutes against Cadiz before limping off holding his ankle. The center-back will be a doubt for a Saturday clash with Espanyol, likely pointing towards a start in central defense for Edgar Gonzalez.

Joaquin - Comes off the bench in defeat Joaquin recorded four crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 2-0 loss against Cadiz.

Impact Joaquin replaced William Carvalho in the 65th minute of the match. He has come off the bench a staggering 13 times in the 14 appearances he has made. He was able to make a little impact after coming on as he registered a key pass and won a ground duel.

Juan Miranda - Booked in loss Miranda recorded two shots (one on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 2-0 loss against Cadiz. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 52nd minute.

Impact Miranda was guilty of a handball in the box and was booked for the same. This resulted into Ruben Alcaraz scoring the opener for Cadiz. He had an uneventful day and failed to register a single tackle, interception or goal involvement. He was replaced by Abner Vinicius in the 65th minute.
