Real Betis' pre-international defeat in El Gran Derbi was very disappointing, although things could have been worse to follow. Natan suffered a knee injury, although he is already back in training, while centre-back Diego Llorente was reported by the Technical Committee of Referees (CTA) for comments he made after the match.
Llorente criticized the performance of the referee Martinez Munuera at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan, and especially regarding the game-winning penalty that Sevilla was awarded in the second half, which he himself conceded.
If found guilty, Llorente would have been banned for 4-12 games. However, he managed to escape punishment, as reported by Marco. As a result, he will be able to keep his place in the starting line-up when Betis travel to Osasuna this weekend.
Betis They will be delighted to have Llorente available for the trip to Pamplona, although recent reports have claimed they could be without their star player this season: Giovani Lo Celso. He suffers with discomfort which he took during the international break.
