Natan suffered an injury during the warm-up ahead of the match at Anoeta, leaving Real Betis coach Manuel Pellegrini with no alternative options in the central defense. The Brazilian player sustained the injury while preparing for the game in San Sebastián.
This unfortunate incident for Natan and the team further complicates Pellegrini’s defensive lineup, which has already been facing challenges. The coach now has to find a solution to fill the void left by Natan’s absence in the heart of the defense.
