Atlético Hosts a Depleted Betis at the Metropolitano
Atlético de Madrid prepares to host Real Betis at the Metropolitano in a crucial LaLiga match. Simeone’s team faces the match with high morale and the ambition to consolidate their position in the table.
However, Betis’s visit comes at a delicate moment for the Verdiblancos, who arrive with numerous significant absences. Pellegrini will be without key players such as Fran Vieites, Sabaly, Diego Llorente, Marc Roca, Chimy Ávila, and Bellerín, posing a significant challenge for the Andalusian team.
The absences force the Betic coach to call upon youth players like Manu González, Guilherme Fernandes, Nobel Mendy, and Ángel Ortiz, the latter with options to start to give rest to Aitor Ruibal, the only available right-back.
The Betis infirmary is particularly crowded, with players like Sabaly recovering from a sprain with their sights set on the Conference League final against Chelsea. Fran Vieites and Chimy Ávila, like Bellerín, are also working intensely to be available for that important European match. Atlético will seek to take advantage of the circumstances to add three vital points in front of their fans at the Metropolitano.
