They had a tough defeat Real Betis of the national coach Manuel Pellegrini where they were beaten 5-0 against Barcelona in a duel in which he was again not present Claudio Bravo.
Regular goalkeeper Rui Silva was injured in the duel. It is hoped that the Chilean goalkeeper will be able to take part in the Europa League on Thursday, although the Argentine calls for calm.
Step by step
The coach himself had minutes to talk about the goalkeeper’s injury against Barcelona and how Bravo has made progress towards returning to competition.
When asked by the correspondent in Europe, Enzo Olivera, the engineer did not hide his feelings towards the national goalkeeper and thought about the Europa League game against Glasgow Rangers.
“Claudio has recovered from his soleus problem and I have my doubts as to whether he will be in Glasgow on Thursday or not,” he initially explained.
“Bravo has to play when he is fit. Rui Silva doesn’t have to be injured to use Claudio Bravo. “They are both very good goalkeepers,” he said in response.
In doing so, he left open the question of what could happen to the Chilean goalkeeper, who is more likely to feature again on Sunday 24th in La Liga against Cádiz.
When does Real Betis play again?
Real Betis will face Rangers of Scotland in their first game of the Europa League this Thursday, where Claudio Bravo could play again.
How old is Claudio Bravo?
Claudio Bravo is 40 years old. He was born on April 13, 1983. The Chilean will play for Betis until he turns 41 before considering his future again. There are currently no signs that he will be able to play in Colo Colo again at this age, so that option is becoming more and more distant.
