😱 Surreal moment as both players from same team subbed off together
The Betis versus Utrecht match this Thursday (27th) featured a bizarre and unlucky incident involving Isco and Amrabat , players from the Spanish club.
They both went for the same ball, which resulted in a heavy collision just 1 minute and 42 seconds into the match at Estadio de La Cartuja, during the fifth round of the UEFA Europa League.
Isco, who was playing only his second match of the season, tried to continue but ended up being substituted in the tenth minute, feeling pain in his right leg.

The same leg in which he suffered two fractures in the fibula. The last one kept him out for 106 days, causing him to miss Betis's first 17 games of this season.
Amrabat, meanwhile, stayed on the pitch a bit longer. However, he collapsed on the field soon after and was unable to continue.
This forced Betis to use another substitution at the 15-minute mark.

Betis conducted tests already in the locker room. Isco suffered a "severe contusion" and a wound near his knee.
Amrabat also injured his right leg near the knee. Both will undergo further tests.
Drama ahead
The departures of Isco and Amrabat are also a problem for Betis as they look ahead to the upcoming Andalusian derby against Sevilla .
