The goalkeeper Claudio Bravo is emerging as the main novelty in the convocation of the Real Betis facing this Sunday’s game against him FC Barcelona at Benito Villamarin, since the Chilean international tested himself in training this Friday in a satisfactory way, so he can advance the plans for his return, that the coach Manuel Pellegrini encrypted a few days ago not before next week.
Claudio Bravo played the first two league games of the year 2021 -against Sevilla FC and Huesca-, but on January 18 he was injured again for the fourth time so far this season, which is why he has missed all five games following, those of the League against Celta, Real Sociedad and Osasuna and the two of the Cup against Real Sociedad and Athletic.
Bravo exercised with absolute normality in training this Friday, according to Abc reveals, although it will be necessary to see if Manuel Pellegrini decides to return ownership or keep Joel Robles, who has completed good performances in recent games, from the start.
Other footballers such as Guido Rodríguez, William Carvalho or Miranda who finished Thursday’s game against Athletic quite heavily should not have problems playing against Barça if Pellegrini deems it appropriate. The one that the Chilean coach will not yet be able to count on is Diego Lainez, as the Mexican winger is still pending to test negative in two PCRs to return to training after testing positive for coronavirus more than a week ago.
