Diego Llorente scare in extra time against Navalcarnero
Varo caught him in the face with his shoulder; the Betis centre-back walked off on his own, dizzy, and Natan replaced him. The club has not yet given an update.
Real Betis centre-back Diego Llorente had to leave the pitch in extra time of the Copa del Rey tie against Navalcarnero after a heavy collision with Varo, whose shoulder struck him in the face. His team-mates called for the medical staff and a stretcher came onto the grass, but according to MARCA it was not needed: Llorente got up and walked off under his own steam, though still dizzy, and Natan came on in his place.
He had been decisive minutes earlier, heading a corner that forced Calado into a big save; Riquelme tapped in the rebound for the 2-3. Betis have yet to report on his condition, but everything suggests it was only a scare.
