Isco was left out of Betis' squad for the Trofeo Colombino against Recreativo Huelva as part of a precautionary approach, according to El Desmarque.
Analysis:Isco missed several training sessions following a trip to Spain, and the club does not want to rush his return to full fitness. The midfielder has repeatedly said his priority this preseason is playing without pain, and lingering discomfort has yet to fully clear up. His plan calls for training sessions alongside teammates before facing outside opposition, meaning his first friendly involvement is more likely to come against Granada or Lyon rather than this weekend. Isco is expected to be gradually reintroduced into match action over the coming days.
