Aitor Ruibal - Closing in on return to action Ruibal (knee) is likely to be available for Saturday's clash against Barclelona after making significant progress in his recovery from surgery, according to coach Manuel Pellegrini...

Impact Ruibal is nearing his first competitive appearance of the season after undergoing knee surgery at the end of the previous campaign. The versatile winger recently resumed full team training following an extended rehabilitation period but was not included in the squad for Wednesday's Champions League clash against Porto. Manager Pellegrini's latest comments suggest Ruibal is now approaching full fitness and could soon be available for selection, providing Betis with an additional option across several positions. However, given his lengthy absence from competitive action, the coaching staff could initially manage his playing time carefully rather than immediately reintegrating him into the starting lineup.

Fran Garcia - Assists opening goal Garcia assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal), four crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Wednesday's 3-2 win versus FC Porto.

Impact Garcia made his first Champions League start of the season after beginning the opening fixture against Lille on the bench, playing the full 90 minutes at left-back. The defender was particularly active defensively, winning four of his five tackles and recording five interceptions to help Betis contain Porto's attacks. He also contributed to the opening goal by combining with Ez Abde, providing the final pass before the winger's curling finish. His strong two-way performance could help him retain his starting position in upcoming European fixtures.

Antony - Provides assist in comeback win Antony assisted once to go with four shots (zero on goal) and three chances created in Wednesday's 3-2 victory versus FC Porto.

Impact Antony recovered from recent muscular discomfort to start and play 89 minutes, providing the assist for Cucho Hernandez's second-half equalizer after beating his defender and delivering a cutback into the penalty area. The winger was consistently involved in Betis' attacking play, attempting four shots and creating three chances, while also striking the post shortly after Ez Abde's opener. He has now registered one assist, 10 shots attempted and six chances created across two Champions League appearances this season. The assist was his first goal contribution across all competitions this campaign, and his high attacking volume reinforces his importance on the right wing.

Cucho Hernandez - Scores off bench in victory Hernandez scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Wednesday's 3-2 victory over FC Porto.

Impact Hernandez made an immediate impact after replacing Troy Parrott, converting Antony's cutback with a precise finish to bring Betis level at 2-2. The striker was making his first Champions League appearance of the season and scored his first goal in the competition this campaign. Hernandez has been rotating with Parrott in the central attacking role across competitions, although the Colombian appears to be the preferred starter in La Liga. His decisive contribution off the bench could strengthen his case for additional Champions League minutes.

Alvaro Valles - Makes three saves in victory Valles made three saves and allowed two goals in Wednesday's 3-2 win versus FC Porto.

Impact Valles helped Betis secure their second consecutive Champions League victory despite conceding twice in the second half. The goalkeeper was beaten by Gabriel Veiga's powerful free kick and Samu's close-range finish, but made a crucial late save to deny Santiago Gimenez an equalizer. He has recorded four goals conceded, six saves and no clean sheets across two Champions League appearances this season. Valles will face Barcelona in La Liga on Saturday before taking on Feyenoord in Betis' next Champions League fixture.

Isco - Converts winning penalty Isco scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), six crosses (one accurate) and five corners in Wednesday's 3-2 win versus FC Porto.

Impact Isco secured all three points for Betis with a late penalty, calmly placing his effort into the bottom-left corner after Angel Ortiz was fouled inside the area. The midfielder played 87 minutes and remained heavily involved in the attacking buildup, delivering six crosses and taking five corners. His goal was his first in the Champions League this season, coming just days after he scored twice against Osasuna in La Liga. Isco continues to play a central creative role for Betis, with his set-piece responsibilities adding to his attacking value.

Impact Abde opened the scoring with a superb curling effort from the left side of the penalty area, sending the ball into the far top corner after combining with Fran Garcia. The winger played the full 90 minutes and was one of Betis' most dangerous attacking players, attempting five shots and creating one chance. He was making his first Champions League start of the season after missing the opening fixture against Lille due to a knee injury. His impressive performance strengthens his case for a regular starting role on the left wing.

Aitor Ruibal - Remains unavailable against Porto Ruibal (knee) remains sidelined for Wednesday's Champions League clash against Porto despite recently resuming team training, according to the club.

Impact Ruibal continues to work his way back from knee surgery undergone at the end of last season, having recently rejoined his teammates following an extended rehabilitation period. The versatile winger was spotted participating in Tuesday's training session, raising hopes of a potential return, but he has yet to regain sufficient fitness to be considered for competitive action. His continued absence means he will have to wait longer to make his first appearance of the campaign. Ruibal will look to build on his recent progress in training, with no confirmed timetable established for his return.

Aitor Ruibal - Could return against Porto Ruibal (knee) was spotted participating in team training Tuesday and could be available for Wednesday's Champions League clash against Porto, according to Zona Mixta.

Impact Ruibal continues to make progress in his recovery from knee surgery undergone at the end of last season, having recently resumed team training after an extended rehabilitation period. The versatile winger was ruled out of Sunday's 5-2 victory over Osasuna, with coach Manuel Pellegrini indicating he was not yet ready for competitive action. However, his participation in Tuesday's session suggests he is moving closer to making his season debut. Ruibal could be included in Wednesday's matchday squad if deemed fit enough, although a substitute role appears more likely given his lengthy absence and lack of competitive minutes.

Antony - Available for Porto clash Antony (undisclosed) has been training with his teammates and will be available for Wednesday's Champions League clash against Porto, according to Deportes Sevilla.

Impact Antony experienced muscular discomfort after playing 17 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 5-2 victory over Osasuna, raising concerns about his availability for Wednesday's European matchup. However, the Brazilian winger has continued training with the team this week, suggesting the issue is not serious enough to keep him sidelined. Antony has yet to register a goal or assist across seven La Liga appearances this season but remains a key attacking option for Betis. With his fitness concerns seemingly behind him, he should be in contention to start on the right wing against Porto.

Hector Bellerin - First goal contribution of season Bellerin assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 5-2 win against Osasuna.

Impact Bellerin would play the full 90 minutes Sunday and would use the full match to earn his goal contribution, finding Jose Antonio Morante in the 96th minute of action for an assist. This is the full-back's first goal contribution of the season, looking to overcome his five from last campaign. He would also add one tackle won, an interception and a clearance in the defense in the win.

Impact Hernandez would help his team score one of their goals Sunday, but not in his typical way of scoring, instead assisting on Ez Abde's goal in the 31st minute. This does give the forward his second assist of the season, adding to his two goals and eight appearances (six starts). He remains their starting forward, looking to best the 11 goals he netted last campaign.

Jose Antonio Morante - One minute, one goal Morante scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 5-2 victory versus Osasuna.

Impact Morante was only welcomed to the field in extra time of Sunday's match, with the attacker making his first appearance of the season. However, it was enough time for the attacker to earn a goal, scoring in the 96th minute. This is only his second first-team appearance for the player, so it is a bright start for him, with his first appearance coming last season in the Europa League.

Abde Ezzalzouli - Scores Sunday Abde scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 5-2 win against Osasuna.

Impact Abde would get on the scoresheet for Betis in their massive win Sunday, with the attacker hitting the back of the net in the 31st minute to earn a 2-0 lead. This gives him his second goal of the season, both coming in their past three matches. This is a good sign for the forward after a rough start to the season, missing four of their first five games due to injury.

Isco - Brace during win Isco scored two goals to go with six shots (four on goal), six crosses (two accurate) and seven corners in Sunday's 5-2 win against Osasuna.

Impact Isco would get back in a starting role Sunday and use the spot to his advantage, playing for 74 minutes after a bench role ahead of the international break. He would open the scoring in the match from the penalty spot in the 10th minute, then adding another goal in the 67th minute. This gives the veteran midfielder his first goals and goal contributions of the season after eight appearances (five starts).

Alvaro Valles - Concedes two against Valles Valles recorded three saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 5-2 victory against Osasuna.

Impact Valles would do well to hold a clean sheet for the first half but would finally break in the second, allowing two goals while making three saves. It has now been two starts since his last clean sheet, remaining with four in eight appearances this season. He will now take on Porto in UCL play on Wednesday before returning to league action in a tough contest against Barcelona on Saturday.

Antony - Returns to group training Monday Antony (undisclosed) trained with the group Monday and is expected to be available for Wednesday's Champions League match against Porto, according to Samuel Silva of ABC Sevilla.

Impact Antony experienced muscular discomfort after playing 17 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 5-2 La Liga victory over Osasuna, but the return to group training in the first session of the week is certainly an encouraging sign for the star winger. If he doesn't suffer any setback in the coming 24 hours and trains fully Tuesday, Antony is likely to start on the right side of Betis' attack Wednesday. Antony has yet to record a goal or assist across seven La Liga appearances this season.

Impact Antony entered Sunday's contest as a substitute after dealing with ankle discomfort leading up to the match, with manager Pellegrini opting to limit his playing time to allow additional recovery. However, the winger experienced a separate muscular issue during his cameo and was seen sitting on the pitch after the final whistle. He is expected to undergo medical examinations Monday to determine the severity of the setback, leaving his availability for two crucial upcoming fixtures uncertain. Antony has yet to record a goal or assist across seven La Liga appearances this season but remains an important attacking contributor, registering 32 shots, nine chances created and 13 crosses.
