Pellegrini: "Amrabat and Isco's Injuries Were Horrible and They Won't Be Ready for the Next Match"

Real Betis coach Manuel Pellegrini expressed his concern following injuries to his players Sofyan Amrabat and Isco during Thursday's match against Utrecht. He confirmed that both players will be unavailable for the upcoming fixture against Sevilla this Sunday.

During the post-match press conference, Pellegrini clarified that Moroccan international Sofyan Amrabat is suffering from an injury that requires close medical monitoring. He indicated that Amrabat is unlikely to feature in the next match against Sevilla, pending the results of final examinations scheduled for the coming hours.

Regarding Isco's condition, the Chilean coach confirmed that his injury was painful, requiring the player to receive seven stitches. He assured that there was no bone damage but emphasized that Isco's return before Sunday's match is not possible due to the nature of the injury and his need for rest.

Pellegrini stated, "It was a match full of incidents. Isco and Amrabat's injuries were horrible. They had to put seven stitches in Isco, and he doesn't have any fracture, but he won't be ready for Sunday. I also believe Amrabat won't be ready."

Real Betis awaits the final medical report in the coming hours, which will precisely determine the duration of Isco and Amrabat's absences.
