Real Betis midfielder Isco has been left out of the starting line-up for the match against Borussia Dortmund on November 4, 2026. The Spanish playmaker, who joined Betis in 2023, will begin the fixture on the bench as the Andalusian side face the Bundesliga club in what appears to be a European competition encounter.
The decision to omit the 34-year-old former Real Madrid and Málaga player represents a notable tactical choice by Betis manager Manuel Pellegrini. Isco has featured regularly for the Seville-based club since his arrival, contributing both goals and assists in domestic and European campaigns.
Borussia Dortmund, meanwhile, will look to capitalize on home advantage at Signal Iduna Park. The German side has a strong recent record in European competitions, reaching the UEFA Champions League final in 2024.
Team news for both sides was confirmed approximately one hour before kick-off, with the match scheduled for a 6:58 PM UTC start. Further details regarding the specific competition and final result will follow upon completion of the fixture.
