Remains out
Lo Celso (muscular) will not be available for Tuesday's clash against Valencia as he continues to work with the medical staff, according to coach Manuel Pellegrini. "Lo Celso and Petit are not with the team yet. They continue working with the physios."
Analysis: Lo Celso will miss another league match after failing to return to team training ahead of Tuesday's contest. The midfielder remains limited to recovery work with the medical staff as he works his way back from a muscular issue. His creativity and ability to operate between the lines make him an important option in midfield, but his return will depend on when he is able to resume team training.
Confirmed absent for season opener
Lo Celso (muscular) will not be available for Betis's season opener against Real Sociedad after failing to train with the group ahead of the match, according to coach Manuel Pellegrini.
Analysis: Lo Celso's absence is a real blow for coach Manuel Pellegrini given the Argentine's importance in the creative zone, forcing the coach to rework his midfield for a demanding opening test. The club is being cautious with his physical situation, preferring not to take unnecessary risks so early in the season and choosing to wait until he's fully recovered before reintroducing him to competitive action. Lo Celso is expected to remain out until his fitness allows for a safe return, with Betis leaning on squad depth to maintain their attacking threat in his absence.
