After training on Monday, in which the Real Betis squad focused on their next meeting at Benito Villamarín to forget about their defeat at Camp Nou, coach Joan Francesc Ferrer 'Rubi' redirected a new session after the rest day on Tuesday.
The big novelty was the return of Borja Iglesias, one of the star signings for the Betis club this summer and, after several days of specific, recovery training on his own, he exercised without any problems with his team-mates after overcoming a grade I-II right ankle sprain that he suffered against Valladolid.
The Santiago de Compostela attacker, signed for Betis after paying his 28 million euro termination clause to Espanyol, already expressed on Tuesday, his total willingness to return to the starting XI eleven against Leganés by telling the club radio that he was not only ready to play, but that he is "ready to score goals."
The team and the one directed by the Argentine Mauricio Pellegrino face each other with the same need for their appointment in the stadium of the neighborhood of Heliopolis, being the only ones who have not yet scored in this League, after the defeats of Betis against Valladolid (1- 2) and Barcelona (5-2), this one especially painful, and from Madrid against Osasuna and Atlético de Madrid, both 0-1 and at home.
For a clash in which the Betics will try to recover from their bad start and, above all, compensate for the defeat and the bad image given at the Camp Nou, Sevilla will also recover, apart from almost certainly Borja Iglesias, the goalkeeper Joel Robles, once his sanction was fulfilled when he was expelled on the first day.
Although without a positive result for his team, the absence of the Galician attacker has allowed the Marbellí Loren to exhibit his scoring skills in these first two days and demonstrate his current good form, by scoring two goals, the 1-2 against Valladolid and the second of 5-2 against Barça.
