Troy Parrott set for a start as Deossa and Ruibal battle for the front spot
Real Betis face Feyenoord with Cucho Hernández out; Manuel Pellegrini can name Aitor Ruibal in the squad for the first time this season.
Real Betis finished their final training session this Tuesday ahead of the trip to Feyenoord, with the only absences being Junior Firpo and Cucho Hernández. The rest of the squad is available for Manuel Pellegrini, who will be able to include Aitor Ruibal in the matchday squad for the first time this season after recovering from his physical issues.
With Cucho injured, the forward line looks different: Troy Parrott is shaping up to be the starter, while Nelson Deossa and Ruibal are options to take the striker role if Pellegrini needs to rest the Irish forward or make changes up front. Deossa arrives with momentum from pre-season, where he finished as Betis’ top scorer.
Pellegrini will speak to the media after training and then confirm the list of players called up for the Feyenoord game, with Firpo and Cucho Hernández the only confirmed absences.
