William Carvalho - Back after lengthy absence Carvalho (Achilles) is on the bench for Sunday's trip to Leganes.

Impact Carvalho returns after last making an appearance for Betis in September. A regular starter when fit, Carvalho will likely be eased back into action from the bench over the coming weeks due to his lengthy absence.

William Carvalho - Possibility for Sunday Carvalho (achilles) is questionable for Saturday's match against Leganes, according to manager Manuel Pellegrini, per R. Guevara of Marca. "William is in a position to be summoned...

Impact Carvalho looks to be a surprise addition to the team sheet Sunday, as he is now questionable despite being expected to miss a few more weeks. However, he will likely be limited, only earning a bench spot even if he is fit.

Cucho Hernandez - Another quiet outing Sunday Cucho registered one shot (zero on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-0 win over Las Palmas.

Impact The start to Cucho's career with Betis has been somewhat slow. Although he has started each of the last four matches, all of which were wins, he has put just one shot on target on seven attempts. He is contributing in other ways -- he created one chance and recorded one accurate cross Sunday -- but he is yet to find the goalscoring form he had in Columbus over the past couple seasons.

Antony - Creates five chances Sunday Antony recorded one shot (zero on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 1-0 win over Las Palmas.

Impact Although he did not record a goal contribution for his second straight match, Antony still was an attacking threat down the right flank. He created a season-high five chances, bringing him up to 16 in his six matches since joining Betis. He also recorded three crosses and took two corners in his second consecutive match. He contributed to a clean sheet as well, winning one tackle and four duels across his 90 minutes of action.

Isco - Penalty saved in win Isco registered four shots (one on goal), seven crosses (zero accurate) and nine corners in Sunday's 1-0 victory against Las Palmas.

Impact Isco had a chance to add to the scoring late in Sunday's win, but his penalty attempt was saved by Jasper Cillessen. It was a tough moment for Isco, especially since he was red-hot with four goal contributions during his previous two matches. Although he recorded seven crosses and a season-high nine corners, he failed to create a chance, which is very surprising considering he created 18 chances in his previous four matches.

Diego Llorente - Scores lone goal Sunday Llorente scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 1-0 victory versus Las Palmas. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 19th minute.

Impact Llorente scored the only goal of Sunday's match, a strike in the 65th minute assisted by Natan. It marked his second goal of the season, both of which have come in his last five matches. He also helped his side keep a clean sheet, contributing one tackle, eight clearances and one blocked shot in his full 90 minutes of action.

Adrian - Keeps clean sheet Sunday Adrian had one save and allowed zero goals in Sunday's 1-0 victory versus Las Palmas.

Impact Adrian faced just one shot on target in Sunday's win, making it easy for him to secure his third clean sheet in his last seven starts. His defense obviously deserves a lot of credit for the clean sheet, as does Las Palmas' Dario Essugo who was sent off in the 61st minute. He faces another very favorable matchup Sunday at Leganes, a side which has scored just 24 goals through 27 matches this season.

MARCH 10 • ROTOWIRE

Chimy Avila - Suspension cleared Avila completed his one-match suspension and will be eligible to face Leganes on Sunday.

Impact Avila missed Sunday's 1-0 win against Las Palmas due to suspension and is now back available for selection. That said, he should return on the bench as he has a rotational role this season.

Impact Bellerin was back in training this week, clearing him to be an option for Sunday's match after a lengthy absence due to a foot injury. He has started in six of his seven appearances this season but will likely not see the start to begin with a cautious start planned, hoping to see the start in the coming matches.

Impact Abde returned to action during Thursday's Conference League clash, coming off the bench after getting back in training. The winger has been a consistent option off the left wing when fit, and should compete with youngster Jesus Rodriguez for the starting role on the wing.

Abde Ezzalzouli - In the squad list Abde (undisclosed) has returned to training this week and is in the squad for Thursday's Conference League match against Vitoria SC, the club announced.

Impact Antony's streak of scoreboard appearances has come to an end after only recording a against Real Madrid. However, he was very active defensively with six tackles (three won) as he continues to be a ray of sunshine for Real Betis, already recording two goals and assists in five games.

Impact Adrian only needed to make a single save against Real Madrid, allowing a goal during the win Saturday. This equals to 10 goals conceded in the last seven league games, making 14 saves with two clean sheets in that span. The keeper will face off with Las Palmas for the next clash on Sunday, who have scored just four goals in the last five appearances.

William Carvalho - Back in full training Carvalho (Achilles) has been cleared for full training Monday, according to El Correo de Andalucia.

Impact Carvalho has been out of training since September after suffering an Achilles injury, so the fact that he's back in full training is a good sign for him. That said, the lengthy absence means he still needs to get back into game shape, and that might take him a few weeks. Thus, a return to action after the March international break might be the most realistic outcome for the Portuguese midfielder.

Hector Bellerin - Cleared for full training Bellerin (foot) has been cleared for full training Monday, according to El Correo de Andalucia.

Impact The next step for Bellerin is to recover his match fitness, meaning his return date remains a bit uncertain. He's undoubtedly getting closer, though. Betis' next matches are against Vitoria Guimaraes on March 6 and Las Palmas on March 9, though it remains to be seen if the right-back will be deemed fit enough for any of those contests.

Angel Ortiz - Trains Monday Ortiz (ankle) is back on the training pitch, according to his club.

Impact Ortiz is already back in training this week, making a quick turnaround after suffering his ankle injury aroudn two weeks ago.

Impact Avila accumulated five yellow cards in La Liga and will be suspended for Sunday's match against Las Palmas. His absence will not impact the starting squad since he has just been a bench option this season.
