Real Betis Star Isco Faces Three-Month Absence Due to Fibula Fracture
Real Betis midfielder Isco is set for a three-month layoff after sustaining a new non-displaced fracture in the middle third of his left fibula during a pre-season friendly[1][2]. The injury occurred on Saturday night in Málaga, causing significant pain and prompting immediate concern in the Betis locker room.
According to the official medical report issued by Betis, Isco has a fracture in his left peroneal bone, an injury that will sideline him for several weeks[3]. The part of the injury that was operated on last year is well resolved, and Isco will undergo conservative treatment in the coming weeks, avoiding surgery.
The initial explorations suggest that Isco will be out of action for around three months due to this new injury[1][2]. This means that the Spanish international will likely miss the start of the Europa League group stage and several La Liga matches.
The injury was caused by a kick from Larrubia in the final stretch of the first half, forcing Isco to be substituted at halftime. He left La Rosaleda stadium on crutches, adding to the worry in the Betis camp.
Pending further medical examinations, Isco is expected to be unavailable until practically November. However, the return of the playmaker will depend on the evolution of the process.
Mateo González, the captain of Real Betis, will lead the team in Isco's absence. The club has confirmed that they are working with this estimate, given that Isco has a fracture[4].
Despite initial fears that the injury could be complicated, it has been confirmed that it is a new fracture in the left peroneal bone, in a different area but similar to last year's injury[5].
