Real Betis ready to welcome back key players after their elimination from the Africa Cup of Nations

Real Betis players return from 2023 Africa Cup of Nations

Real Betis with the most players at AFCON

Real Betis were the La Liga side with the most players away at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, with Ez Abde and Chadi Riad (Morocco) and Youssouf Sabaly (Senegal) all called up for the tournament.

Players’ return to Seville

After missing the last five matches, all three players will now make their returns to Seville as their involvement in AFCON has now ended. Sabaly’s Senegal were knocked out by hosts Ivory Coast, with Morocco being bested by South Africa in their last 16 tie.

Fit for the next match

According to MD, Sabaly, Abde, and Riad will all return to Real Betis in the coming days and will be fit for the weekend’s match with Getafe at the Benito Villamarin. This is great news for head coach Manuel Pellegrini, as all three are likely to be considered as regular starters for the rest of the season.
