Real Betis confirm 23-man travelling squad for Manchester United first leg

Real Betis have confirmed their 23-man travelling squad for their Europa League last-16 first leg against Manchester United.

Manuel Pellegrini's side will fly to Manchester on Wednesday, where they will hold their pre-match press conference and train at Old Trafford ahead of the match.

The La Liga side have already confirmed their squad for the fixture and have been handed a huge boost with the return of experienced midfielder Sergio Canales.

The 32-year-old has missed the last two games, with Pellegrini opting not to risk him in Sunday's game against Real Madrid, but a return to full training at the start of this week was sufficient to book his place on the flight to Manchester.

Canales had been a near ever-present in the Betis side up until his injury, with six goals and two assists in 28 matches across all competitions, as well as playing more minutes than anyone else for the club this season.

The return of Canales is particularly important given the visitors will be without Nabil Fekir for the match after he suffered a season-ending injury last month.

Real Betis travelling squad:

Bravo, Rui Silva, Dani Martín, Sabaly, Edgar, Victor Ruiz, Pezzella, Luiz Felipe, Abner, Miranda, Guido Rodríguez, William Carvalho, Guardado, Canales, Luiz Henrique, Joaquín, Aitor Ruibal, Rodri, Juanmi, Dani Perez, Borja Iglesias, Willian Jose, Ayoze.
