He now has four clean sheets and 27 saves over his last seven appearances, with at least three saves in six of those matches, and will look to carry that form into Sunday's match against Mallorca.

Chimy Avila - Ruled out Sunday Avila (undisclosed) is ruled out for Sunday's clash against Atletico, coach Manuel Pellegrini said in the press conference, according to Zona Mixta.

Impact Avila is battling an undisclosed injury and has missed several training sessions, officially ruling him out of Sunday's showdown with the Colchoneros. The striker had been a regular starter while Cucho Hernandez (strain) remained sidelined, so his absence forces a reshuffle up front. In response, the highly versatile Aitor Ruibal is expected to step in and lead the line on Sunday.

Junior Firpo - Unused sub Thursday Firpo (undisclosed) was an unused sub in the 5-0 loss to Atletico Madrid on Thursday.

Impact Firpo was an option on the bench in the Copa del Rey exit, meaning the left-back is now able to play in competitive games once again. Firpo will aim to return to the side when Betis once again face Atletico on Sunday, but this time, it'll be in league play.

Cucho Hernandez - Won't play Sunday Hernandez (strain) wasn't involved in training Friday and won't be an option for Sunday's league match against Atletico Madrid, according to Mateo Gonzalez of ABC.

Impact Hernandez has been sidelined since the early days of January, and there's no question Betis miss him in the attacking third. The Colombian striker was involved in training in late January, but he's yet to progress to full training. His next chance to play will come against Real Mallorca on Sunday, Feb. 15, though that'll depend on how much he progresses over the next few days.

Rodrigo Riquelme - Plays substitute role in cup match Riquelme (groin) sent in three crosses (one accurate) and completed two dribbles in 17 minutes as a substitute during Thursday's Copa del Rey loss to Atletico Madrid.

Impact Riquelme bounced back from a four-game absence and saw limited minutes off the bench, which could be the usual case for him throughout the season. The winger has struggled to find consistency in terms of both playing time and performance over the current campaign, scoring no goals and delivering one assist across 16 matches played. He'll continue to serve as backup for Ez Abde on the left flank in upcoming contests.

Junior Firpo - Back available Thursday Firpo (undisclosed) is an option for Thursday's Copa del Rey match against Atletico Madrid, the club posted.

Impact Firpo returns to the squad for Thursday's Copa del Rey match against Atletico Madrid after missing the last five matches across all competitions due to injury. The defender is an undisputed starter at left-back when fit and is likely to reclaim his spot in the starting lineup in the coming fixtures.

Rodrigo Riquelme - Option to play Thursday Riquelme (groin) is an option for Thursday's Copa del Rey clash against Atletico Madrid, the club posted.

Impact Riquelme returns to the squad for Thursday's Copa del Rey match against Atletico Madrid after missing the last four matches with a groin injury. The midfielder is expected to resume his role as a substitute for Ez Abde, having started on the bench in each of his last four appearances prior to the injury.

Giovani Lo Celso - Set to miss time Lo Celso suffered a moderate proximal myotendinous injury to the rectus femoris muscle in his right thigh and is set to miss time on the sidelines, the club announced.

Impact Lo Celso suffered a thigh injury during last week's clash against PAOK in the Europa League and is expected to miss four to eight weeks while recovering, which aligns with the usual timeline for this type of issue. His absence will affect Betis' starting XI, as he has been a regular starter with Isco (ankle) sidelined, opening the door for Pablo Fornals to operate as the number 10. Nelson Deossa is also expected to see an uptick in playing time in the double pivot as the rotation adjusts.

Alvaro Valles - Three saves in win Alvaro Valles had three saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 2-1 victory versus Valencia.

Impact Valles stopped three of the four shots he faced during Sunday's win, doing just enough to earn all three points. It was an excellent showing in a jammy match where neither side was really excellent. He was massive in goal and was brilliant to earn the win. Valles will need to continue this excellence with a tough trip to Atleti up next.

FEBRUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Nelson Deossa - Four shots in win Deossa registered four shots (zero on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-1 victory against Valencia.

Impact Deossa took four shots but failed to put any of them on net during Sunday's win. He also created one chance, though it wasn't overly dangerous. In the end it was a solid showing, with decent volume, but he just couldn't make the most of the volume. Deossa will need to be at his best if he wants to produce much end product on limited volume.

Chimy Avila - Scores against Valencia Avila scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-1 win against Valencia.

Impact Avila scored on his only shot during Sunday's win over Valencia. The forward took one shot, created one chance, and scored during the narrow win. It wasn't a shining performance by any means, but his goal was crucial for a one-goal win. On the whole Avila will be happy with an efficient showing, even if the lack of volume is disappointing.

FEBRUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Pablo Fornals - Scores for win Fornals scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 2-1 win against Valencia.

Impact Fornals scored on his only shot on goal during Sunday's win. The midfielder actually didn't have many chances on the ball, taking two shots and sending in a corner, but failing to do much else. On a day when every shot found the back of the net Fornals did enough to score a decisive goal during the 2-1 win.

FEBRUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Alvaro Fidalgo - Completes Betis move Fidalgo has signed a contract with Real Betis until 2030 following a transfer from Liga MX side Club America, his new team announced Sunday.

Impact Fidalgo will bolster the Beticos' midfield and should be an option for the remainder of the La Liga campaign. The 28-year-old ball distributor emerged as a product of Real Madrid's youth academy and later spent five years in Mexico, where he won three league titles with the Azulcremas. He's capable of operating as a playmaker, providing an alternative to Pablo Fornals in the No. 10 role, but recently he was used more as a holding midfielder in his previous club, so he could also enter the rotation with Marc Roca and Nelson Deossa.

Antony mixing it with the best! Ex-Man Utd flop matches Harry Kane & closes in on Kylian Mbappe after latest stunning Real Betis performance

Aitor Ruibal - Comes off bench in return Ruibal (groin) logged 15 minutes as a substitute in Thursday's Europa League win over Feyenoord.

Impact Ruibal replaced Chimy Avila for the final minutes of the UEL matchup, which marked his return from a short injury absence. The wide player has been an option in right-back and left-wing roles this season, but he's now unlikely to feature in an offensive spot with Ez Abde available, so he'll challenge Angel Ortiz for playing time in the back line.

JANUARY 29 • ROTOWIRE

Abde Ezzalzouli - Scores goal Thursday Abde (groin) scored one goal from six shots (one on goal) during Thursday's UEFA Europa League win over Feyenoord.

Impact Abde recovered quickly from a minor injury and continued a solid streak, recording at least five shots and a goal for the second straight game across all competitions. He should now remain a safe starter on the left wing as long as he avoids rotation in busy weeks. Therefore, Aitor Ruibal and Rodrigo Riquelme (groin) will see few minutes in attacking roles.
