Assist in loss Luiz Henrique assisted once to go with six shots (one on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 4-2 defeat versus Barcelona.

Impact Henrique continued his run of good form Sunday, contributing his third assist of the season. This marks the second consecutive match that Henrique has play the full 90 minutes. Over that span, he has today's assist, nine shots (two on target), nine crosses (two accurate), and five chances created. Henrique's next opportunity could come versus a stingy Mallorca defense next Saturday.

Five crosses in Saturday's win Luiz Henrique generated three shots (one on goal), five crosses (one accurate) and three chances created in Saturday's 1-0 victory over Granada.

Impact Henrique put together one of his most productive matches of the season in Saturday's win as he made his first start since Nov. 26. He set a season high with three chances created and tied a season high with five crosses. He also helped his side keep a clean sheet as he played the full 90 minutes for the first time this season.

Provides assist in win Luiz Henrique assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-0 win versus Mallorca.

Impact Henrique notched his second assist of the season by setting up Ayoze Perez in the 65th minute of the match. The midfielder has come off the bench for the third time in the past four games; if he continues to contribute, he could find himself back in the starting XI.

Appears off bench Henrique came off the bench for the final 18 minutes of Saturday's one-all draw with Getafe.

Impact Henrique was called up and returned, as expected. The winger played 18 minutes off the bench and seemed to be moving without issue. Now that he is fit once more it's possible Henrique will return to the starting XI, though two separate muscle injuries have already bothered him in 2023/24. With that in mind a more rotational role could be on the cards to avoid aggravating these injuries any further.

Available to play Saturday Luiz Henrique (strain) is in the squad to face Getafe on Saturday.

Impact The Brazilian winger was spotted training with the ball earlier this week, so his inclusion in the squad is not a surprise, especially considering how good he's been when available. Luiz Henrique has been in the XI in three of his four appearances across all competitions in 2023/24, bagging one assist but never playing more than 72 minutes.

Spotted training with ball Henrique (strain) was viewed training with a ball on Thursday ahead of Saturday's match against Getafe.

Impact Henrique looks to be making progress towards a return after training on Thursday. The young attacker has been sidelined for the past four matches and will hope to make a return soon after being absent with an injury for the second time in the first two months of the season. He most likely won't be an option for Saturday but could be set for a return in their next two matches after that against either Aris Limassol or Osasuna. When he is ready to compete, he could contend for time in the starting XI after starting in three of his four matches played this season.

Out through international break Henrique picked up a muscular injury that will keep him on the shelf through the upcoming international break. Manager Manuel Pellegrini told reporters Wednesday, "I think Luiz Hen...

Impact Henrique finds himself back on the shelf after having previously missed three matches this season with another muscular problem. With the midfielder sidelined, Ez Abde could make his second start of the season after featuring for the club in Europa League action. Including UEL, Henrique figures to miss four matches for the club.

Makes squad to face Barcelona Luiz Henrique (strain) is on the squad to face Barcelona on Saturday.

Impact The speedy winger missed Betis' last three games with an injury, but he's ready to return after completing his recovery during the international break. Given that Aitor Ruibal (abdomen) remains out, it wouldn't be surprising if Luiz Henrique moved immediately into the starting lineup.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

On training pitch Henrique (strain) was pictured in training Wednesday during the international break.

Impact Henrique missed the club's last three contests due to his muscular injury but appears to be trending in the right direction. If the attacking midfielder is deemed fit for the club's Sept. 16 matchup with Barcelona, he could be in contention to feature after having been included in the starting XI for the season opener against Villarreal. Once Henrique is given the all-clear, both Aitor Ruibal (abdomen) and Rodri could be headed back to the bench.

SEPTEMBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Will miss several weeks Luiz Henrique has been ruled out to face Atletico Madrid on Sunday and is expected to miss "two or three games," head coach Manuel Pellegrini told reporters.

Impact Given the timeline, Luiz Henrique seems like a long shot to face Rayo Vallecano on Sep. 2, and a more realistic date for his return would be the Sep. 17 matchup against Barcelona after the international break. Rodri could be in line to see a bigger role with Luiz Henrique sidelined, but there's no question this is a huge blow for Betis' attacking line.

AUGUST 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful for Sunday Luiz Henrique (undisclosed) didn't train Friday and is doubtful to play Sunday against Atletico Madrid, Jose Maria Lopez of Diario AS reports.

Impact The Brazilian winger left the season opener with an injury and has yet to train this week. In fact, he was part of the manager's technical briefing on Friday, but he didn't take the field for training, so his chances of featuring against Los Colchoneros are close to zero. If he can't go Sunday, then his next chance to play would come against Athletic Bilbao on Aug. 27, and Rodri, who replaced him in the game against Villarreal, could replace him in the lineup in the meantime.

Departs with injury after assist Luiz Henrique assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-1 win against Villarreal. He was injured and subbed out in the 71st minute.

Impact Henrique picked up his first assist of the season after some marvelous individual play, setting up Ayoze Perez for the goal. Unfortunately, he was replaced in the 71st minute by Rodri due to an undisclosed injury. The attacking midfielder was examined by team physicians in the 68th minute before departing
