Lo Celso (undisclosed) won't be an option for Friday's clash against Real Madrid, though he is getting closer, according to coach Manuel Pellegrini. "Lo Celso won't be in the squad list, maybe next week."
Analysis:Lo Celso had recently resumed team training after missing recent matches while working with the medical staff on a muscular issue, and his continued progress suggests his return to the squad is approaching. His path back to a regular role in midfield will be worth monitoring as Real Betis continues managing his reintegration.
