William Carvalho - Stretchered off Carvalho was stretchered off during Friday's clash with Leganes.

Impact Carvalho was in clear pain as he was carried off during Friday's clash. With short rest until a Wednesday's match with Getafe it's more likely than not that he's out for multiple matches. Carvalho was replaced by Sergi Altimira, who could see more chances in the starting XI.

Isco - Out three to four months Isco (leg) is expected to miss three to four months of action following a second surgery on his leg, according to manager Manuel Pellegrini. "It's hard to give him a time, but abou...

Impact Isco has undergone his second surgery and is now on the road to recovery. However, he will not be returning for some time, with an absence expected of around three to four months. This will set him up to return near the start of the new year, hoping he can still return to last season's form despite a long injury absence at the age of 32.

Marc Bartra - Remains sidelined Bartra (undisclosed) is out for Friday's match against Leganes, according to manager Manuel Pellegrini. "Marc also had a small muscle overload, nothing serious. It has nothing to d...

Impact Bartra will remain on the sidelines for a further week despite a return expected against Leganes, with the defender having picked up a setback due to minor muscle issues. That said, he will likely be available for the next match, just needing a short amount of time to recover. He did start in the opening two matches of the season before injury, so expect him to earn that spot back once fit.

Juanmi - Out to face Leganes Juanmi is out for Friday's match against Leganes due to an ankle injury, according to manager Manuel Pellegrini. He had a very strong blow to his ankle during yesterday's training...

Impact Juanmi will be heading to the sidelines, as the attacker picked up an ankle injury at training this week. It appears to be more of a cautionary absence, with the club wanting to ensure he doesn't further injure himself. That said, expect him to likely only miss one match and return next contest. He has started in two of the club's three matches this campaign, so this will force a change, with Johnny Cardoso or Chimy Avila being his likely replacement.

Aitor Ruibal - Signs extension Ruibal has agreed to a four year contract extension with Real Betis.

Impact Ruibal has been a long term member of the Real Betis organization, and will continue his time there after signing on to another four years. He's already started three matches this season at forward, though has yet to find the back of the net while totaling five shots (one on target), four chances created and two tackles (one won).

Cedric Bakambu - Back in training Bakambu (hamstring) returned to training Wednesday, according to his club.

Impact Bakambu has finally returned to the training grounds for team training after injuring his hamstring, having dealt with the issues since receiving surgery in May. This is positive news for the forward, as he was set for a return at the end of September and looks to be on track for that goal following the recent update.

Isco - Set for second surgery Isco (leg) has not recovered in the way the club had hoped and will now be required to undergo a second surgery to fix his issues, according to his club.

Impact Isco has already missed the first three matches of the year due to a leg injury dating back to last season but is now set to miss even more time after it was announced he will undergo a second surgery on his issues. This comes after club doctors found a lack of healing and formation in his places of concern during a test, forcing them to undergo the operation now instead of possibly missing even more time further down the road. A return date is unknown for the attacker, but it can be assumed he will be out for at least another two months, just hoping to get back on the field as soon as possible.

Abde Ezzalzouli - Three shots again but in start Ez Abde had three shots (zero on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-0 loss versus Real Madrid.

Impact Ez Abde logged three shots during his previous appearance as a reserve, and that performance earned him a start Sunday. He replicated the three-shot output against Real Madrid, an effort that ideally leads to more starts for him down the line.

Rui Silva - Two goals conceded, five saves Silva conceded two goals but logged five saves in Sunday's 2-0 loss against Real Madrid.

Impact Kylian Mbappe scored twice past Silva. It is worth noting the goalkeeper was left one-on-one both times, the second a successful penalty. Combine that with five saves, and it can be argued that Silva's latest log was a relatively successful one. Now that arguably the toughest fixture of Betis' schedule is over, Silva can focus on providing much clearly better performances in easier matchups.

Impact Bartra has started the opening two matches of the season but will be forced to sit out Sunday, as he has gone down with undisclosed issues.

Giovani Lo Celso - Joins Betis Lo Celso completed a transfer to Betis from Tottenham, the club announced.
