Abde and Parrott score before returning to Betis

Before returning to Betis, Ez Abde and Troy Parrott made an impact for their national teams on Sunday. The club’s two internationals scored penalties to open the scoring in their respective matches: Abde for Morocco and Parrott for Ireland. Their international duties are now complete, making them among the first Betis players expected to resume work with the club.

Parrott put Ireland ahead against Israel in the Nations League, converting from the penalty spot. He and Abde are due to rejoin the group as Betis begin preparations for their next fixture.

Both players will be available to Manuel Pellegrini on Tuesday. Betis host Osasuna at La Cartuja on Sunday, and the coach hopes to have them for the match. Their return comes at the start of a demanding stretch for the club, with nine games scheduled in 29 days across all competitions. Abde and Parrott’s early return means Pellegrini can have both players involved from the opening stages of preparations for that run, although their involvement against Osasuna is described as the coach’s hope.
