- Fidalgo and Bakambu, the latest to arrive for Betis-Espanyol
Real Betis are heading into a decisive week marked by international uncertainty.
Manuel Pellegriniis approaching the international break with one eye on the pitch and the other on the map, as seven first-team players are currently away with their respective national teams.
The most complicated cases are those of Álvaro Fidalgoand Cédric Bakambu . Both players are scheduled to play matches in the United Statesand Mexico in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
The logistics of their return flights and the necessary rest after crossing the Atlantic make them the last players expected to rejoin the group.
The Chilean coach's main concern lies in recovery times. Due to these transoceanic commitments, it is very likely that the Betis manager will not have his full squad available until Friday afternoon's training session.
The schedule offers no respite, as Real Betis will host RCD Espanyol this Saturday at 18:30 at La Cartuja Stadium. With just one training session with the full squad, Pellegrini will have to assess the physical condition of his internationals before deciding on the starting XI for LaLiga Matchday 30.
