Betis return to Seville and will not play tomorrow's Copa del Rey match

Betis return to Seville and will not play tomorrow's Copa del Rey match The match between Navalcarnero and Betis, scheduled for tonight at Santo Domingo, will not take place today. Both teams have been informed by the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) that none of the matches scheduled for this Wednesday will be played due to the train accident in Toledo. According to Mundo Betis, the new date for the match has already been officially confirmed: it will take place on Thursday, November 12 at 7 p.m. at Santo Domingo (Alcorcón), during the international break and without Betis's international players. Spain face the Czech Republic in the Nations League that same day. There was very little room to maneuver in the calendar. The second round of the cup was scheduled for the first few days of December (1, 2 and 3), immediately after a demanding run of European fixtures for Betis. Although playing the match against Navalcarnero this Thursday was considered, Manuel Pellegrini and his staff opted for Thursday, November 12 (7 p.m.), accepting that players called up by their national teams would be unavailable. That date falls four days after facing Elche and nine days before the derby against Sevilla FC at the Sánchez-Pizjuán (November 21). The final decision rested with the RFEF, which will shortly officially announce t he full revised schedule, although the green-and-whites' plans are already in place, pending public confirmation.
