Real Betis prepares squad rotations for Copa del Rey tie against Navalcarnero

Real Betis manager Manuel Pellegrini is expected to utilize squad rotations for the upcoming Copa del Rey match against fourth-tier Navalcarnero. The fixture provides an opportunity to manage player workloads and offer competitive minutes to squad members seeking rhythm.

Key personnel updates include the return of Junior Firpo to training, though he may not be included in the immediate squad. Conversely, the team will be without Cucho Hernández due to injury and Facundo Bernal due to suspension.

In the attacking department, Irish striker Troy Parrott is looking to build confidence and establish himself in the rotation following a late substitute appearance in a recent scoreless draw against Celta Vigo. Moroccan winger Abde, who has played every minute of the last six matches, is also expected to receive a rest.

The goalkeeper position remains an uncertainty as Pellegrini decides whether to start established keeper Álvaro Valles or provide a debut opportunity for Diego Conde or Manu González.
