Real Betis pair return to training ahead of Barcelona clash | OneFootball

Real Betis on Tuesday welcomed two important players back into group training activities.

That’s according to Mundo Deportivo, who point towards Pablo Fornals and Johnny Cardoso as the pair in question.

Midfielders Fornals and Johnny have both spent recent weeks on the sidelines, owing to respective injury problems.

The former has been out of action since late last month, owing to a muscular issue suffered whilst training at The Ciudad Deportiva Luis del Sol.

All-action midfielder Johnny, meanwhile, has been unavailable for selection since picking up a hamstring strain during the United States national team’s meeting with Jamaica in November.

Amid something of a personnel crisis in Manuel Pellegrini’s midfield at present, all of a Betis persuasion will, in turn, no doubt be delighted to hear of both players rejoining group training.

Neither will feature in the Copa del Rey against Sant Andreu tomorrow night, with Fornals and Johnny in a race against time to play some part versus Barcelona at the weekend.
