Available after ankle injury Bellerin is available for Friday's clash against Real Sociedad after recovering from an ankle injury, according to coach Manuel Pellegrini.

Impact Bellerin had missed several days of training after suffering the sprain in the friendly against Inter Milan, but his recovery has since progressed to the point where he's fully cleared for selection. His availability strengthens Betis's options at right back heading into Friday's season opener against Real Sociedad at La Cartuja, with Angel Ortiz having been the fallback option had Bellerin not recovered in time.

Bellerin is expected to be further assessed in the coming days before a final decision is made on his involvement in the opener. Angel Ortiz remains an option at right back should Bellerin ultimately be unavailable.

Impact The extent of the injury is uncertain, but it's certainly a worrisome sight for Betis since Bellerin is projected to open the 2026/27 season as the first-choice right-back. Angel Ortiz took his place in the game, and he'd be in line to start at right-back in the Liga opener against Real Sociedad next Friday if Bellerin doesn't recover in time.
