Real Betis celebrated their sixth straight victory over the weekend with a hard-fought win in the Seville derby against rivals Sevilla. However, there’s some disappointing news for the team’s fans as they prepare for their next match against Barcelona.
In a setback for Betis, star player Isco will be unavailable for the upcoming game due to suspension. During the derby against Sevilla, Isco picked up a yellow card, which was his fifth of the season, triggering an automatic one-match suspension.
While Betis considered appealing the decision, they ultimately concluded that their chances of overturning the suspension were slim, and they decided not to pursue the matter further.
This is a blow for the team as Isco has been in outstanding form, recently being named La Liga’s Player of the Month for March. The midfielder surpassed the likes of Kylian Mbappé in the voting, highlighting his crucial role in Betis’ success.
Betis will now have to find a way to navigate their upcoming match against Barcelona without their influential playmaker.
