Real Betis' Ángel Ortiz: Ruled out Friday

Ortiz (shoulder) remains unavailable for Friday's clash against Real Madrid, according to coach Manuel Pellegrini, per Gonzalo Tortosa of Elchiringuitotv.

Analysis:

Ortiz continues to work through his shoulder injury, with no return timeline provided ahead of the Real Madrid fixture. The right-back had previously shown encouraging signs in his recovery, but Friday's match will come too soon for him to feature. Hector Bellerin figures to continue covering at right-back in his absence until Ortiz is fully cleared to return.
