Betis lose Nosa

Real Betis Balompié’s Nigerian central midfielder Nosa Igiebor will out of action until mid-January due to "chronic enthesopathy in the adductor muscle of his left leg", according to the Andalusian side.

Betis also said that the player would go under the knife this week "to definitively cure the pain". Nosa has played seven times for Pepe Mel’s side this season in Liga BBVA, scoring once.

The Nigerian international joins a long list of absentees at Betis, following the injuries to Damien Perquis, Rubén Castro, Lorenzo Reyes, Paulão, Juanfran and Eder Vilarchao.
