Real Betis prepares for Málaga match amid squad absences
Real Betis is preparing for their upcoming La Liga fixture against Málaga under manager Manuel Pellegrini. The squad faces several availability issues: Colombian forward Cucho Hernández is sidelined with a left soleus injury, and Uruguayan midfielder Facundo Bernal is serving a suspension.
Brazilian winger Antony Dos Santos has returned to training after recovering from a viral illness, making him available for the match. Additionally, defender Junior Firpo is continuing training sessions as he recovers from a muscular injury sustained while playing for the Dominican Republic national team.
In terms of tactical adjustments, the team is looking to Troy Parrott to provide offensive depth in the absence of Hernández. Meanwhile, midfielder Isco Alarcón has seen an increase in playing time, transitioning from a substitute role to a regular starter, which presents a management challenge regarding his physical workload and recovery.
