According to the "Daily Sports" report, Betis midfielder Isco, who suffered a fibula injury, is about to return. The club's medical team hopes that he will reach his best condition when facing Sevilla at the end of November.

In a friendly match against Marbella in the preseason, Isco unexpectedly suffered a displaced fibula injury, which caused him to miss the game for three months. This Saturday, Isco can already participate in some training projects with his teammates. After a period of leg immobilization and low-intensity recovery training in the gym, he returned to the court. His teammates warmly welcomed his return and held a welcome ceremony for him in the dressing room, where he participated in some training sessions arranged by Pellegrini.

According to initial medical reports, Isco was expected to need six weeks to recover, but his absence was ultimately extended to three months. Considering that he missed seven months due to the same injury in 2024, the club's medical team is very cautious about his recovery process to avoid unnecessary risks.

If Isco can continue to maintain the current recovery progress and feels good, he will gradually return to the Chilean coach's plan after the upcoming international break. At the press conference, Pellegrini said: "Isco has recovered well from his injury. Now he cannot conduct physical contact training and will not play in the next game, which is too risky for him. But if he continues to recover steadily, he should be ready after the international break."

The goal of Isco and the Betis technical team is to get the former to reach the best condition for the Andalucia Derby against Sevilla on November 30. This game means a lot to Isco, as he left Sevilla and has become one of the idols of Betis fans.

Before this crucial game, Betis will also face Girona and Utrecht. These games may help Isco regain the rhythm of the game. Pellegrini is gradually increasing the players available in the squad in a bid to fulfill the squad's internal desire to qualify for the Champions League.
