Abde Ezzalzouli Set for Return to Real Betis After Injury Recovery

Moroccan international Abdessamad Azlzouli is preparing to resume his activities with Real Betis, having nearly completed his recovery from an injury that sidelined him for over a month, costing him the chance to represent Morocco in the 2026 World Cup.

Spanish newspaper "AS" has revealed that the Moroccan winger will join the Andalusian team's training today, Monday, after completing his rehabilitation program due to a knee injury.

The newspaper reported that Ez Abde spent the past period in France, where he followed a special rehabilitation program under the supervision of a specialist, before returning to the city of Sevilla, in preparation to join his teammates and participate in Real Betis' preparations for the new season, which includes two friendly matches against Recreativo and Granada.

The source confirmed that the coaching staff, led by Chilean manager Manuel Pellegrini, is counting on the Moroccan player to regain full fitness, considering his important role within the team's system, especially with the upcoming continental challenges, notably participation in the Champions League next season.

In this context, "AS" reported that the level displayed by Zalzouli during last season caught the attention of several clubs in the Premier League, led by Newcastle United, which has been tracking his situation for months, considering him one of the most promising wingers capable of making a difference.

Despite the increasing interest in his services, Real Betis management continues to handle the player's future with caution. Their top priority is to restore his physical readiness and involve him in the preparation period, while also keeping the possibility of his departure alive should they receive an offer that matches the buyout clause in his contract, set at €60 million.
