Real Betis first team keeps preparing the upcoming fixture on Saturday against Real Sporting de Gijon. The squad worked this morning for the third time this week at Luis del Sol Training Centre. The session has come with bad news for Juan Merino in medical terms. Dani Ceballos’ presence in the match is in doubt due to the injury he suffers in his left knee, as it has not improved since yesterday.

Also, Heiko Westermann has already been discarded for this fixture due to an injury in his right toe. Both players have remained inside the facilities at the training ground doing recovery work.

On a positive note, Fabián, Joaquín, and Van der Vaart have been able to finish the training without problems. All of them trained yesterday after a few days out due to different problems, and there have not been any complications today.
