There is a lot at stake for Real Betis this Thursday in the Conference League, where they are forced to beat Mlada Boleslav in the Czech Republic to keep alive their chances of achieving a direct ticket to the round of 16 of the third continental competition. But inevitably Much of the focus these days is on the figure of Isco Alarcón, who has taken a big step in his recovery when exercising with the group in the last two training sessions.
After being injured on May 16 during the visit to UD Las Palmas and undergoing surgery for a fibula fracture, which prevented him from being in the Euro Cup with Spain, his recovery was not going as expected and in September he had to go from new under the knife. But in this second phase of rehabilitation, the sensations have been different and a couple of weeks ago he confirmed that His intention is to play again before the end of the year, although the motto is clear and is not to force it in any case.
A “Christmas gift” according to Adrián
His return is closer and closer and Betic fans are excited to see him back on the pitch very soon. A longing that not only overwhelms the fans, but also his own colleagues, who have celebrated his return to training and have expressed their desire to enjoy the magic of Malaga again. After more than six months in dry dock, Adrián San Miguel has no doubt that he will offer his best version.
“It’s fantastic. It’s a joy for everyone and, above all, for us. Seeing him on the field, at the start of training, he’s going to be with us right now. Let’s hope it is the best Christmas gift for all the Beticos and for the squad. He’s eager and he’s going to come back better than ever.“, pointed out at the exit of the Luis del Sol Sports City, His Eminence’s goalkeeper, who is experiencing his first sessions with Arroyo de la Miel in this way.
Lo Celso and Bartra await you with open arms
For his part, another who hopes to play alongside Isco soon is Giovani Lo Celso. In fact, there are many hopes placed on the talented partnership that the two can form. “Happy, having a player of his hierarchy is important. Happy to be back and we are looking forward to it. We know the kind of player he is and both the fans and us are happy that he has returned to training. Now it’s little and waiting for it,” said the Argentine.
Who does know the former Real Madrid player from last season well is Marc Bartra, who has also had to go through an ordeal due to the injury that kept him out for most of last season. Now, happily recovered and at a high level, he hopes that his teammate will follow in his footsteps. “He is happy and if he smiles we all smile. Happy to have you among us because you are going to help us a lot and we need you.“he stated.
