Impact Willian could be back in the squad after a two-match stint on the shelf due to his muscular injury. The forward has started four of his seven appearances for the club this season.

Scores winner off bench Willian Jose scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-1 win over Villarreal.

Impact Jose has his first goal since Feb. 24. Between that day and May 4, he went two months without scoring across nine appearances of 11 games Betis played. Ideally for Jose, his goal drought's end will signify better form to come. This is especially important now, as the Brazilian striker earned starting XI spots across back-to-back appearances.
