Pellegrini repeats squad: Llorente and Morante left out

Real Betis return to the same pattern with a couple of absences. As reported by MARCA, Manuel Pellegrini has called up 24 players for the sixth matchday of LaLiga EA Sports, with tomorrow’s game at Estadio de La Cartuja against Getafe.

Llorente, out again

The standout absence is once more Diego Llorente. The central defender suffered a fracture to the bones of his nose against Real Madrid, and while he began training with a mask, he was unable to play either the Lille match or last Monday’s game vs Villarreal. According to MARCA, he also missed training on the day of the squad announcement due to discomfort.

The other non-selection is Morante. The academy player has not made the squad after featuring for the reserve team over the weekend. With them, Ruibal is the only other Betis player left out for physical reasons.

24-man squad and final cut

Pellegrini is repeating the same setup as in the match at La Cerámica: 24 convocated players and therefore a required final cut. MARCA adds that the player left out for the previous match was goalkeeper Diego Conde, who returned to the stadium where he is “on loan from Villarreal” — his loan runs until June 30.

The Betis squad also includes Álvaro Valles, Diego Conde and Manu González in goal; Bellerín, Ortiz, Bartra, Natan, Valentín Gómez, Junior and Fran García in defense; and midfield/attack options including Facundo Bernal, Marc Roca, Dani Ceballos, Fornals, Deossa, Lo Celso, Isco, Fidalgo, Iker Losada, Antony, Abde and Riquelme.
