Major concern for Real Betis as talisman Isco forced with muscle injury ahead of crucial period of matches

Isco Alarcon has been in spectacular form since joining Real Betis last summer, and there is no doubt that he has been one of the top performers in La Liga in recent months. He has been particularly good in recent years, having scored four in his last four appearances for Los Verdiblancos.

That includes Sunday's game against Getafe, where he scored from the penalty spot to make it 1-1. Isco produced another man of the match performance at Benito Villamarin, but worryingly for Betis, he was unable to finish the match after being forced off in the latter stages with a suspected muscle injury.

Isco looked very disappointed to be substituted, and it would be a major blow The Real Betis if he must be without his talisman for a significant period of time. This is especially the case when you consider their upcoming fixtures, which include their Europa Conference League play-off round match against Dinamo Zagreb.
