The recovery of Ez Abde enters its final phase. The Moroccan international has already partially rejoined training with his teammates over the past week, and the goal now is for him to be able to complete the next sessions normally.

If nothing unexpected happens, Abde could return to the squad this Friday against Real Sociedad, in the league opener for the verdiblancos. Pellegrini has preferred not to take risks during pre-season, and the winger did not play in the last friendly against Inter.

The player has been out since the start of June, when he suffered a knee injury in a friendly with Morocco ahead of the World Cup. After more than two months working on his recovery, his return to the pitch is already very close.

Do we start Abde in Fantasy this matchday?

Although a possible return is great news, from a Fantasy perspective we recommend some caution. Abde has still not played any minutes during pre-season, and it seems difficult that Pellegrini will start him after such a long absence.

Rodrigo Riquelme has the edge to take the left flank, while Abde could come on in the second half to start building up competitive match sharpness.

So our recommendation would be to keep Abde on the bench this matchday if we have reliable alternatives. That said, for managers who need to take a risk, his ability to create danger in just a few minutes always makes him an interesting option.

Bellerin looks set to be available, and Lo Celso will miss out

There are also good updates on Hector Bellerin. The full-back finished the friendly against Inter Milan with discomfort, but he is not expected to be prevented from being available for Real Sociedad if he completes the week without problems.

The situation is different with Giovani Lo Celso. The Argentine continues following a specific plan due to muscle discomfort, and he will not be in the squad for Betis' league opener.

So, the verdiblanco medical room is gradually starting to clear up, and the big piece of news could be the return of Abde, one of Betis' most important players, and a player who will be very attractive again in Fantasy once he regains his best physical level.
