Abde Ezzalzouli - Solid in win Abde scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Sunday's 2-1 win versus Espanyol.

Impact Abde had a solid outing Sunday, not only scoring a goal, but winning four aerials with a shot on target and a tackle won in the process. The forward has been highly effective during the four games played in La Liga, scoring twice with an assist while also recording four shots on target, six successful dribbles and three tackles won.

Pau Lopez - Makes pk save Lopez recorded four saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 2-1 victory over Espanyol. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 103rd minute.

Impact Lopez came in clutch Sunday, making four saves, including a penalty kick save, to allow just one goal to Espanyol. He had a few minor injury setbacks already, missing two league games and appearing five times. In that span, the keeper has only conceded three times, making 15 saves, securing two clean sheets with two high claims.

Sofyan Amrabat - Suffers quad injury Amrabt is expected to sit out for the time being with a contusion in his right quad.

Impact Amrabat will be forced to sit out at least until the international break with a quad injury. He's been an option to start for Betis since signing at the deadline, recording two starts in three appearances, totaling a shot on target and five tackles made. In his absence, Marc Roca could get the start in the defensive midfield vs Espanyol on Sunday.

Isco - Still recovering Isco (ankle) is in line for a six-to-eight week return, according to manager Manuel Pellegrini.

Impact Isco is still in line for his original return date of around two months. That puts him in line for a chance to return after the international break. There's still no exact date for his return, but the earliest chance is likely an Oct. 18 trip to Villarreal.

OCTOBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Nelson Deossa - Not called up Deossa (ankle) wasn't called up for Thursday's trip to Ludogorets.

Impact Deossa wasn't called up Thursday as he is still sidelined with an ankle injury. The midfielder has been hampered by injury early this season, with just two appearances. Deossa is likely to be brought back after the international break, with only one chance to return before the break.

Pau Lopez - Keeps clean sheet Lopez registered one save and secured a clean sheet in Sunday's 2-0 win against Osasuna.

Impact Osasuna didn't test the goalkeeper much, only forcing one save. Lopez shouldn't have much trouble against Ludogorets in UEL action on Thursday, though the Bulgarian side does have 17 goals in nine league matches.

SEPTEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Valentin Gomez - Defensive wall Gomez generated three tackles (two won) and 14 clearances in Sunday's 2-0 win against Osasuna.

Impact Gomez had three tackles but it was the clearances which helped Real Betis keep a clean sheet. Ludogorets do have some strong attackers and have scored 17 goals in nine domestic matches, so Gomez should be able to generate similar numbers Thursday in Europa League action against the Bulgarian club.

SEPTEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Antony - Stellar offensive showing Antony had three shots (one on goal), six crosses (two accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 2-0 win over Osasuna.

Impact Even though the forward didn't score or assist, he posted strong offensive stats in an important win. Antony should keep this going against Ludogorets Thursday in Europa League play. Though Ludogorets have only allowed three goals in nine domestic games, they are unlikely to keep the La Liga side down.

Pablo Fornals - Assists before injury Fornals assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal), four crosses (zero accurate) and three corners in Sunday's 2-0 win over Osasuna. He was injured and subbed out in the 76t...

Impact The attacker was able to contribute with an important assist to give Betis the 2-0 lead before leaving with an injury. If he is able to play Thursday against Ludogorets, it's a favorable matchup in UEL play against a club playing in a less competitive domestic division.

SEPTEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Abde Ezzalzouli - Scores opening goal Ez Abde scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-0 win against Osasuna.

Impact Ezzalzouli got the scoring started for Real Betis, which never let up in a big 2-0 win. The attacker should be able to break down Ludogorets Thursday in UEL play. The side has only conceded three times in nine domestic games but is unlikely to have similar results against a La Liga side like Real Betis.

SEPTEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Cucho Hernandez - Scores, assists in win Cucho Hernandez scored one goal and assisted once from two shots and one chance created in Sunday's 2-0 win against Osasuna.

Impact The forward was extremely active, netting a goal and an assist to help Real Betis grab all three points. He should be able to replicate this type of effort against Ludogorets in UEL action Thursday. The side has only conceded three goals in nine domestic games but the level of competition is not the same as La Liga.

SEPTEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Hector Bellerin - Starting against Osasuna Bellerin (illness) is in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Osasuna.

Impact Bellerin has avoided missing another match through illness Sunday, with the defender fit as expected and in the starting XI. This is huge news for the club, as he has now started in six of his seven appearances this season, likely to continue as a starter at right-back.

Aitor Ruibal - Unused on the bench Ruibal (hamstring) went unused on the bench during Wednesday's 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest.

Impact Rodriguez was unused on the bench, but was back in the squad for Wednesday's match. The defender has been slowly working back to fitness, and could make his full return during Sunday's clash with Osasuna back in La Liga.

SEPTEMBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Ricardo Rodriguez - Plays second half Rodriguez (groin) played the second half during Wednesday's two-all draw with Nottingham Forest.

Impact Rodriguez came off the bench and played the second half Wednesday. He was a doubt pre-match with a groin injury, but it seems that it wasn't an overly serious injury. Junior Firpo should rotate with Rodriguez in the coming weeks.
