Ahead of the Europa Conference League final, Real Betis face injury issues.

Real Betis will face Chelsea in the UEFA Conference League final on Wednesday, but they will have to do so without a number of key players. Ex-Tottenham midfielder Giovani Lo Celso is among the doubts, while former Arsenal defender Hector Bellerin will not feature due to injury.

Marc Roca, Diego Llorente, and Chimy Avila have also been ruled out, leaving Isco and on-loan Manchester United winger Antony to lead the team’s attack. Antony has enjoyed an impressive loan spell since making the switch in the January transfer window.

Betis have failed to win any of their last four games and suffered a heavy loss away to Atletico Madrid 10 days after overcoming Fiorentina to book their place in the final. Given their recent form and Chelsea’s defensive solidity, it will be a tough task for the LaLiga side to cause an upset.

The team will need to rely on the creativity and skill of players like Isco and Antony if they are to stand any chance of winning the trophy. However, with so many key players out through injury, it will be a challenge for Betis to put out a strong team.
