Villarreal
Real Betis
- Francis Coquelin is out for Villarreal with a cruciate ligament injury and won't be back until October, at least.
- Raúl Albiol is back in training as he recovers from a knee injury, but is a doubt for the season opener.
- Ramón Terrats, signed from Girona in the window, will likely earn a starting spot in midfield. Alexander Sørloth, signed from RB Leipzig, is set to start on Sunday too.
- Ben Brereton Diaz could make his debut since signing from Blackburn in June, but will probably make a cameo from the bench.
- Betis have announced that William Carvalho will miss the opening game of the season with a muscle problem in his right leg. Leeds United loanee Marc Roca could come in to replace him.
- Nabil Fekir is out with a cruciate ligament injury; Isco, signed from Real Madrid in the summer, could replace him in attacking midfield.
- Marc Bartra returns to Betis, signing from Trabzonspor, and will slot straight in to a starting centre-back role, especially since Edgar Gonzalez has left to join Almeria.
