Junior Firpo - Back in team training Firpo (hamstring) was spotted back in team training on Wednesday, the club posted.

Impact Firpo missed the last three games due to a hamstring injury that he likely cleared fully since he was spotted back in team training on Wednesday. This is a good development for the left-back since he has been a regular starter in the defense and his return will be a boost for Betis.
