Impact The veteran defender returned from a one-game absence, but he stood on the bench and didn't feature in the derby. His next chance to play will come against Osasuna on Sunday.

Unused sub Sunday Sokratis (undisclosed) was an unused substitute in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Sevilla.
Back in training Monday Sokratis (undisclosed) was viewed back in team training Monday ahead of Sunday's match against Sevilla.
Impact Sokratis appears to be healing from the undisclosed issues that left him out from the club's last match well, as he is now back in team training. This is great news for the defender, as he is now set to be back on the team sheet against Sevilla on Sunday following the new increase in health. However, he will most likely only serve off the bench if an option, only having started in one of his past five appearances on the team sheet.

Out for Betis Sokratis (undisclosed) is not on the team sheet and wont be an option for Saturday's trip to Valencia, confirmed manager Manuel Pellegrini.
Impact Sokratis has fallen out of favor of late, only making one start since February. He had previously started seven times in seven matches, totaling 32 clearances. Chadi Riad and German Pezzella will remain in the back line for Betis.

Scores own goal Sunday Sokratis registered an own goal, four tackles (zero won), eight clearances and one interception in Sunday's 3-2 defeat versus Villarreal.
Impact Sokratis was extremely unfortunate Sunday, as he attempted to clear away a cross from Gerard Moreno, but he didn't time his jump properly, and instead, he ended up slotting it past Rui Silva. An own goal is an absolute killer in fantasy, but Sokratis shouldn't be in danger of losing his starting role when Betis take on Rayo Vallecano next Sunday before the international break.

Available Sunday Sokratis will be in contention against Atletico Madrid on Sunday following his one-match ban for accumulation.
Impact Sokratis was coming off seven consecutive starts before being banned versus Athletic on Sunday. In those appearances, the central defender managed 32 clearances, one shot (on target) and five interceptions. Outside of clearances, Sokratis probably won't offer much in the way of fantasy production.

Suspended, won't face Athletic Sokratis received his fifth yellow card of the season and will be suspended to face Athletic Bilbao on Sunday.
Impact Sokratis established himself as a starter rather quickly since joining Betis once the season had already started, and given the team's current injury issues, his absence will be a blow to an already thin defensive line. Chadi Riad is likely to partner next to German Pezzella against Athletic, though Sokratis should be eligible to return when Betis takes on Atletico Madrid on March 3.

Signs with Real Betis Real Betis have signed Papastathopoulos, the club announced Thursday.
Impact The experienced defender will add some much-needed depth to a defensive line that desperately needs it. Sokratis has played at the top level in the past thanks to his previous stints in clubs such as Dortmund, Arsenal and AC Milan. If fit, he could make his debut fairly quickly, with his first chance to play coming this Sunday against Osasuna.
