Real Betis vs Barcelona Team news :
Juan Cruz, a winger for Real Betis, is Real Betis’ only injury concern. He hasn’t played since early October because of a hamstring injury. After recovering from muscle injuries, Nabil Fekir and Juanmi were able to return to the substitute bench last time out. On Wednesday, they will be in the running to be called up to the starting lineup.
William Carvalho and Guido Rodriguez, two key players in the midfield, will continue to play in front of the back four, while January signing Abner will be vying for Juan Miranda’s left-back spot for his first start in the home stadium.
Ousmane Dembele may be out for at least three weeks for Barcelona after suffering a thigh injury in the 25th minute of the team’s victory over Girona. However, the Catalan giants will be able to welcome back Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres from their suspensions, and the attacking duo may be recalled to the starting XI.
Pedri, Sergio Roberto, and Jordi Alba, all of whom started on the bench against Girona, started against Betis in the Super Cup earlier this month and could start again on Wednesday.
