Facundo Pellistri: Betis won’t seek a suspension for his ban

Real Betis have decided Facundo Pellistri (Real Betis) will start serving his suspension immediately, meaning they will not seek a precautionary (cautelar) stop of the punishment, as MARCA reports.

The club is still studying whether to file an appeal, but internally they believe delaying enforcement through a caution could push the ban into a more demanding part of the season. Their approach is to take the hit now and avoid a scenario where, if the final decision goes against them, Pellistri misses more high-stakes matches later.

Over the next few days, Betis will consider whether to keep the appeal to try to reduce or overturn the sanction, while keeping the original schedule for serving it.
