Isco given injury boost in race to be fit for Real Betis' opening game of 2024-25 season

Isco had a phenomenal 2023-24 season, his first as a Real Betis player. The 32-year-old was in good form throughout the campaign, and this was despite two serious injuries. He picked up a hamstring injury in February, which saw him miss six weeks, before suffering a season-ending broken leg in May, which further dented his hopes of playing for Spain at the Euros 2024.

Isco underwent surgery on the most recent injury, and his expected return time is mid-August – just as the next season begins. However, ED they reported that there is confidence in the former Real Madrid camp that he can return early, thus giving him a better chance to play in MD1 against Girona.

Regardless of whether Isco returns ahead of schedule or not, he will miss most of it the Real Betis pre-season schedule. For most players, this would be an obstacle, although it did not affect him too badly last season, when he did not even have much in the last summer.
