Will miss rest of season
Bartra (foot) has been confirmed with a partial plantar fascia injury in his right foot and will miss the remainder of the season, with his return to team training dependent on his progress during the recovery process, according to the club.
Analysis: Bartra ends the campaign having been one of Real Betis's most consistent defensive performers, contributing one goal, 58 tackles and 194 clearances across 30 appearances in all competitions while keeping eight clean sheets. The 35-year-old had been in excellent form before the injury struck, posting more than five clearances in each of his previous six appearances, making his absence a real blow for the final stretch. Diego Llorente is the most likely candidate to step into the starting role in central defense for the remaining fixtures of the season.
Forced off Friday
Bartra went down with an injury during Friday's matchup versus Real Madrid, Tiempo de Juego reports.
Analysis: Bartra started for the third consecutive game but was unable to complete the first half due to an apparent foot issue. It's unclear if he'll be forced to miss further games, but his absence would give Diego Llorente a chance to return to the lineup. The 35-year-old was in good form after racking up more than five clearances in each of his previous six matches played.
