Real Betis are benefiting from an international break as the key player is close to returning from injury

After their defeat at Sevilla pre-international, things did not look good for Real Betis in the center department. Diego Llorente has been reported to the Spanish Football Federation for comments he made about refereeing during El Gran Derbi, while teammate Natan suffered a knee injury during the feisty affair.

In the case of Natan, it was confirmed that he suffered only a minor, with the prognosis that he was out for 2-3 weeks. It seems to be on the closer end of the scale, like Marco said the Brazilian defender was back in training with his Betis teammates during their session on Tuesday.

Barring any setbacks in the coming days, Natan should be available the Betis match this weekend, which is against Osasuna at El Sadar. The international break can be a hassle for most teams, but for Los Verdiblancos, it worked very well in this situation.
