Real Betis will be without two influential midfielders this weekend as both Achille Emaná and Mehmet Aurelio are suspended following yellow cards picked up against Atlético Madrid.
Real Betis continued their recent rocky form as they lost to Atlético Madrid at the weekend, and they also made things tough on themselves for their next match.
Los Verdiblancos take on Athletic Bilbao and they will have to do so without Achille Emaná and Mehmet Aurelio, reports Marca.
The pair both picked up bookings at the Vicente Calderón - and for both it was their fifth yellow of the season, resulting in a suspension.
Emaná has been a key player for the Andalucian side so far this season and his absence will no doubt be sorely missed.
Aurelio might not have been such a key figure, but his absence will nevertheless be a blow, especially as Paco Chaparro will need to bring in two new midfielders.
There is a chance that Betis will appeal against the yellow cards, and hence the bans, but that is not yet confirmed and is probably unlikely.
The loss to Atlético at the weekend means that they now sit 11th in La Liga, and should they lose to Athletic this weekend then they will be overtaken by the Bilbao side.
