Nottingham Forest is set to face Real Betis in their first Europa League group stage fixture at the Villamarin Stadium. The Spanish club may be facing some challenges with their squad ahead of the match against the English side.
Real Betis have seen some players return to training, including left-back Ricardo Rodriguez. However, several players like Nelson Deossa, Pablo García, and Isco were not part of the group in training. García is currently with the Spain U20 squad, so he will miss the upcoming match against Nottingham Forest.
Deossa and Isco are recuperating from injuries, while there are now reports that centre-back Diego Llorente has become a doubt for the fixture. Llorente, who recently made his return from a muscle injury, did not participate in training due to discomfort, raising concerns about his availability for the match.
Multiple Spanish outlets, including Diario de Sevilla and AS, have mentioned Llorente’s absence from training and the doubts surrounding his participation in the Europa League clash with Nottingham Forest. ABC Sevilla has suggested that Llorente is expected to miss the match due to muscle discomfort, although there seems to be a lack of certainty from other sources.
Real Betis may need to navigate the absence of Llorente, among other injured or unavailable players, as they prepare to take on Nottingham Forest in what promises to be an intriguing Europa League encounter.
