Roca returns for Real Betis friendly against Bournemouth

Real Betis prepare their penultimate preseason friendly against Bournemouth this Saturday at 20:30 at La Cartuja. According to MARCA, Marc Roca returns to the squad after resting last Wednesday due to fatigue issues. Álvaro Fidalgo and Cucho Hernández are also available as they continue their fitness preparations following the Club World Cup.

Manuel Pellegrini keeps Abde, Aitor Ruibal and Diego Conde out of the team, as they undergo specific recovery work. The Chilean coach has decided not to call up academy player Rica, though he does count on Gnangoro and Morante. Gonzalo Petit and Iker Losada will have the chance to get minutes in a match that comes after the 3-1 victory against Arsenal in Dublin.
