Isco - Trains with ball post-match Isco (undisclosed) is training with Real Betis Thursday, taking part with the ball in the post friendly match session alongside the substitutes, according to Zona Mixta.

Impact Isco had been following a specific regime away from the group and was left out of the squad entirely for the friendly against Lyon, continuing a cautious approach from Betis that has also kept him out of the match against Granada. His involvement in this post match session with the ball is a positive step forward, though it remains unclear when he will be cleared to feature in an actual preseason friendly, with the club's next match set for Saturday against Almeria.

The defender is expected to continue building up his workload as Real Betis progress through their remaining preseason fixtures.

The caution is that he is still dealing with some pain and ongoing treatment, a detail that matters given his recent run of fibula fractures and ankle surgery. His early departure from the squad's training camp was due to a family matter, not related to his fitness, and he is set to rejoin the group on Monday.
