Goal and clean sheet in win Bartra scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 2-0 win over Elche.

The Spaniard remains an important part of Manuel Pellegrini's back line, though he can be rotated with Diego Llorente at times given Betis' busy schedule.

Training fully, available for Osasuna Bartra has resumed full team training and is an option for Sunday's clash against Osasuna after recovering from a right hamstring injury, according to Alex Merida of Deportes El Co...

Impact Bartra appears to be closing in on a return to competitive action after progressing from individual work to partial team training earlier in the week before completing full sessions with his teammates. The center-back had been sidelined for several weeks but should now be in contention for Sunday's matchup, though his recent absence could influence his workload. Bartra enjoyed an impressive start to the campaign with three goals across five appearances, and his return would provide a significant boost to Betis' back line, with Valentin Gomez potentially facing increased competition for minutes.

Closing in on return Bartra (hamstring) completed another session with the group Wednesday as he continues to progress in his recovery from a right hamstring issue, according to Zona Mixta.

Impact Bartra continues to move closer to a return after initially resuming partial team training Tuesday following several weeks of individual work. Consecutive sessions with the group improve his chances of being available for Sunday's clash against Osasuna, though his involvement will depend on how he responds over the remainder of the week. The center-back had scored three goals across five appearances before the injury, while Valentin Gomez could continue to see increased minutes if Bartra isn't ready to start.

Partially back in team training Bartra has partially returned to collective training on Tuesday after several weeks working apart because of right hamstring discomfort suffered against Deportivo, according to Dep...

Impact Bartra had been forced off just 10 minutes into the Deportivo match, a scare given his form this season of three goals in five appearances. This partial return puts him on track to prepare for Sunday's match against Osasuna, and Valentin Gomez, who stepped in during his absence, could still see time while Bartra builds back to full training.

Impact Bartra had been forced off just 10 minutes into that match, a scare given his recent form that includes three goals in five appearances this season. This encouraging update now removes the concern of a significant setback, and Valentin Gomez, who had stepped in during his absence, could still see time while Bartra completes his individual buildup before returning to full training.

SEPTEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Exits with injury Bartra was forced off the field in the 12th minute of Sunday's match against Deportivo due to an apparent injury.

Impact Bartra wouldn't last long Sunday as he had to leave just 10 minutes into the match, suffering from an apparent injury. This is a rough loss for the club as they not only lose a starting defender but a decent source of goals as of late, already with three goals in five appearances this campaign. Valentin Gomez was brought onto the field in his place, a likely replacement in future matches if Bartra remains out.

SEPTEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Scores brace Bartra scored two goals to go with two shots (two on goal) in Tuesday's 3-2 win against Lille.

Impact Bartra provided an unexpected source of offense from center-back, heading home Pablo Fornals' cross for the first equalizer before redirecting Isco's free kick into the net shortly after halftime. The defender was also busy at the other end with seven clearances across the full 90 minutes. Bartra had scored once across three La Liga appearances entering Tuesday, meaning the brace already takes him to three goals across all competitions this season.

SEPTEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in big loss Bartra scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Saturday's 5-2 defeat against Levante.

Impact Bartra scored the equalizer for Betis in the first half after latching onto a loose ball inside the box and firing an unstoppable shot past Mathew Ryan. Bartra should be one of the defensive leaders for Betis, and while he can score goals from time to time in set-piece plays, most of his upside will come from defensive stats going forward, including clean sheets.

SEPTEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Plays half in preseason win Bartra played the second half in a 2-0 preseason win over SF Lotte, no longer dealing with the foot injury that ended his previous season early, the club announced.

Impact Bartra had missed the remainder of last season with a partial plantar fascia injury in his right foot, an issue that was one of the more significant setbacks for Betis' backline given his consistent form before the injury struck. His involvement in Saturday's friendly marks a clear step forward after having only just returned to training earlier in preseason. The defender is expected to continue building up his workload as Real Betis progress through their remaining preseason fixtures. Bartra is expected to compete for a regular role in the backline once the new season gets underway.

JULY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Appears back in training Bartra (foot) appears to have returned to training with Real Betis, according to his personal social media accounts.

Impact Bartra missed the remainder of last season with a partial plantar fascia injury in his right foot, an issue that had been one of the more significant setbacks for Betis' backline given his consistent form before the injury struck. He closed out the campaign with 30 appearances, contributing a goal, 58 tackles and 194 clearances while keeping eight clean sheets. His reappearance in training is an encouraging sign that his recovery has progressed as the club begins preseason. Bartra is expected to be gradually reintegrated as Real Betis continue preseason preparations.

Impact Bartra had been in excellent form before the injury struck, posting more than five clearances in each of his previous six appearances across three consecutive starts. The center-back's absence is a real blow for Real Betis heading into the final stretch of the season, with Diego Llorente the most likely candidate to step into the starting role in central defense during his recovery. No specific timeline has been provided, leaving his availability for the coming fixtures uncertain.

Forced off Friday Bartra went down with an injury during Friday's matchup versus Real Madrid, Tiempo de Juego reports.

Impact Bartra started for the third consecutive game but was unable to complete the first half due to an apparent foot issue. It's unclear if he'll be forced to miss further games, but his absence would give Diego Llorente a chance to return to the lineup. The 35-year-old was in good form after racking up more than five clearances in each of his previous six matches played.

APRIL 24 • ROTOWIRE

Starts on Saturday Bartra registered one shot (zero on goal) in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Espanyol.

Impact Bartra is dealing with some discomfort and will be a late call for Sunday's clash against Levante. The center back will likely be assessed after the final training session to determine if he can be part of the squad. That said, if he has to miss the game, Diego Llorente will likely start in his place in central defense while Valentin Gomez could see some minutes in the second half with Llorente not at 100% yet.

Impact Bartra looks to have a chance of making it for Sunday's contest, as he has been named to the squad list after suffering a back injury.
