Should be available Saturday Fekir (undisclosed) was called up by Betis for Saturday's clash against Celta Vigo.

Impact Fekir had to come off around the hour mark of Wednesday's defeat against Barcelona due to an apparent injury, but he seems to have recovered and should be available to face Celta at the weekend. Sergio Canales could slide over into attacking midfield for the game if Fekir isn't quite fit enough to start.

One shot in return Fekir had one shot (zero on target), one cross (one accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 1-0 win versus Getafe.

Impact Fekir returned from an undisclosed injury and played for 23 minutes of the match on Saturday. Several injuries and game suspensions have kept the Frenchman on the bench for most of the campaign. However, when healthy he can contribute to the team with three goals, two assists, 32 crosses (six accurate) and 25 corners in 14 appearances in all competitions thus far.

Could be available Saturday Fekir (undisclosed) has been called up by Real Betis for Friday's clash against Getafe.

Impact Fekir was a doubt for Saturday's match after suffering a minor calf tear in the Super Copa in mid-week, but it seems he has recovered enough to at least be available for selection against Getafe.

Provides assist against Rayo Fekir made an assist, had two shots (one on target), created four chances, sent in eight crosses (two accurate) and drew four fouls during Sunday's 2-1 win over Rayo Vallecano.

Impact Fekir had another great display here, pacing his side in crosses, chances created and fouls drawn while being the heart and soul for this Betis side in the middle of the park. And one of the many plays generated by him led to what ended up being the game-winning goal scored by Luiz Henrique in the 40th minute. This was the second assists of the season for Fekir but the most important thing here is that it looks like he's finally leaving behind the injuries that slowed him down prior to the World Cup break.

Lively in scoreless affair Fekir took three shots (one on target), sent in three crosses (zero accurate) and delivered two corners during Thursday's scoreless draw with Athletic.

Impact Fekir was his squad's preferred set piece option, but Betis were only able to generate two corners on the evening. Also of note, he led the team in shot attempts, chances created (three) and played the full 90. Very few players were fantasy-relevant on Thursday, but Fekir should receive a boost in value during games where his team are able to put goals on the board.

Sits out loss to Valencia Fekir was suspended for Thursday's 3-0 loss to Valencia.

Impact Fekir was sent off during Sunday's derby against Sevilla and didn't play in the final match before the World Cup. He completes the first half of the season with three goals and one assist in 11 matches. With a mid-season break for the World Cup, Fekir will hope to stay fit for longer stretches in 2023.

Impact Fekir has been used sparingly ever since suffering a hamstring injury in early September, and Sunday's game was just his third start in the last two months. But he was sent off during first-half stoppage time and will now be suspended for Thursday's clash against Valencia.

Creates three chances in win Fekir created three chances from three crosses and conceded a yellow card in Sunday's 2-0 win over Real Sociedad.

Impact Fekir returned to the lineup after recovering from a muscular injury that forced him to miss four consecutive matches and come off the bench in his previous two appearance. As he still scored in two straight matches before Sunday, Fekir looks to be in good form and improving fitness as the World Cup approaches.

Scores off bench in loss Fekir scored one goal from two shots (one on goal) in 15 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 2-1 loss to Atletico Madrid.

Impact Fekir is back after missing four consecutive matches due to a re-injured hamstring. While fitness has been an issue this season, Fekir has started in five of his seven appearances and has little issue making an impact whenever on the pitch.

Makes bench against Atleti Fekir is fit and in the match day squad to face Atletico Madrid on Sunday.

Impact Fekir returns after dealing with a hamstring injury that has kept him out since the beginning of the month. Fekir is a locked in starter when fully healthy, but has just one assist and no goals through five league appearances.

OCTOBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Back in training Fekir (hamstring) participated in Friday's training session ahead of Sunday's match against Atletico Madrid, according to Jose Maria Lopez of AS.

Impact Fekir will hope to be back after missing four games with a recurrence of a muscular injury. He might be asked to come off the bench for at least one game before he's able to start again. As a result, look to Luiz Henrique for attacking production Sunday due to the suspension of Sergio Canales.

OCTOBER 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Advancing in recovery Fekir was able to train with his teammates Tuesday but remains out for Wednesday's trip to Cadiz, according to Diario de Sevilla.

Impact Fekir will miss a fourth straight match due to a recurrence of a muscular injury but is unlikely to be out much longer pending how his recovery goes ahead of Sunday's match against Atletico Madrid. While he's out, expect Sergio Canales to continue as the attacking-midfielder with most of the creative responsibility.

Re-injures hamstring Fekir has re-injured the same leg that knocked him out for a month, manager Manuel Pellegrini told reporters after Thursday's UEL match against Roma.

Impact Fekir is assured to miss multiple weeks following an unfortunate muscle injury during an impressive win in the Italian capital. While he's out, Luiz Henrique and Rodri should man the wings while Sergio Canales will be even more important as the creative director in the middle of the attack.

Comes off holding hamstring Fekir came off holding his hamstring during Thursday's Europa League clash with Roma.

Impact Fekir's dealt with leg injuries multiple times in his past, so coming off with a hamstring injury is more concerning than normal. The midfielder was replaced by Luiz Henrique who figures to take on more playing time if Fekir is ruled out for any time past Thursday's clash. Fekir's first chance to return is a Sunday trip to Valladolid.

Plays 45 minutes in return Fekir had one shot (zero on target), two crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 1-0 loss versus Celta Vigo. He was also shown yellow.

Impact Fekir made his return to the lineup at half time after missing four matches due to injury. His presence injected energy into a Betis squad that trailed 1-0 at that point and were also playing down a man. Overall, Fekir looked fully fit during his 45 minutes of play, and Betis were a more aggressive attacking unit with him on the pitch. Supporters and fantasy managers will be wise to monitor his status within the starting XI for the team's next league tilt. If he starts, he should garner strong consideration in lineups.

OCTOBER 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

On bench Sunday Fekir is available from the bench for Sunday's tilt with Celta Vigo.

Impact Fekir trained with his teammates throughout the week, and it appears he is close to making his way back to full fitness following a well-timed international break. He missed the past four league matches but could appear in relief Sunday.

OCTOBER 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Trains with teammates Fekir (thigh) trained with his teammates during Monday's session ahead of Sunday's match at Celta Vigo, according to Alvaro Borrego of El Desmarque.

Impact Fekir keeps on schedule after missing the last four matches but using the international break to perfection in his return to training. When he's back, Luiz Henrique is likely to see his role change after helping to fill in for Fekir.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Training on ball Fekir (thigh) was seen training with the ball as of Friday, according to Diario de Sevilla. He's expected to return after the international break.

Impact Fekir is doing well to stay on schedule based on an initial three-to-four week prognosis while recovering from a torn thigh. Given the recent long-term injury to Juanmi, getting Fekir back will be a major asset to his team and should offer a good fantasy option.

SEPTEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

All over pitch vs Elche Fekir had three shots (one on target) and assisted on Real Betis's opening goal in Monday's 3-0 victory over Elche. He also sent in three crosses (zero accurate) and completed two...

Impact Fekir was extremely involved right from the opening kickoff Monday, and he didn't waste much time getting the scoring action started. The 29-year-old attacker hounded an Elche defender along the touchline, broke away with the ball and fed a perfectly placed ball to Borja Iglesias for the score. He subbed off in the 64th minute once the game was well in hand. If Monday's opener is at all predictive, Fekir is likely to maintain a very fantasy-friendly role throughout the season.
