Bartra tests rule out hamstring injury as he resumes a tailored plan

Marc Bartra has received a reassuring update after tests carried out over the past few hours. As Mundo Deportivo reports, the medical assessment rules out any injury to the hamstrings—something the central defender already suspected on Sunday after the match at Riazor, when he asked to be substituted just minutes into the game due to discomfort in the back of his thigh.

What the tests confirm

With that key concern dismissed, the recovery process still continues to get his muscles back to full strength. Even without a hamstring injury, the plan now is to manage the workload properly and remove any risk tied to the initial scare.

Individual work during the break

Mundo Deportivo adds that, starting this Wednesday—when the Betis squad returns to training after the international break—Bartra will follow a tailored individual training programme for the opening days. The goal is to bring his musculature back to “one hundred percent” as quickly and safely as possible after what happened in Riazor.

Other players eye full fitness

In the same article, Mundo Deportivo also mentions Diego Llorente. He fractured the bones around his nose in the opening stages of the game versus Real Madrid and has not been called up for the next four matches—against Lille, Villarreal, Getafe and Deportivo—where the team collected three wins and one draw.
