Real Betis will have to wait to see Isco Alarcón again

Real Betis will face an extended period without their key player, Isco Alarcón, who has undergone surgery for the second time in less than four months. The Malaga midfielder went back under the knife in Madrid due to complications in the recovery of the fibula fracture he suffered in May. Doctors found that the healing process was not progressing as expected, requiring this new operation.

Coach Manuel Pellegrini, aware of the severity of the situation, mentioned in a press conference that although it's difficult to establish an exact recovery timeline, the player is expected to be out for another 6 to 8 weeks. Therefore, his return to the field is not anticipated before November or, in the worst-case scenario, early 2025.

A setback that has dealt a severe blow to Pellegrini and Betis

The club's medical team explained that the new procedure included bone graft reinforcement and repositioning of a plate on the fibula. As reported by 'Eldesmarque', Isco will have to undergo a initial non-impact period for about six to eight weeks before starting the rehabilitation phase. Recall that the Malaga player got injured towards the end of the last season, preventing his selection by Luis de la Fuente for the Eurocup with the Spanish national team.

For Betis, Isco's absence represents a tough blow as he had become an offensive reference for the team. Both the fans and the club will need to exercise patience before seeing him shine on the field again.
