Ezzalzouli Returns to Full Training as Real Betis Comeback Draws Closer

The Moroccan winger has taken another major step toward his return after completing a full training session with Real Betis, putting him in contention for Friday’s La Liga clash with Real Sociedad.

By the Atlas Lions Editorial Desk18 Aug 2026How we report

Moroccan international Abdessamad Ezzalzouli is edging closer to a return to competitive football after rejoining full team training with Real Betis on Tuesday.

The 24-year-old winger completed the entire session alongside his teammates, marking an important milestone in his recovery and raising hopes of seeing him back on the pitch soon.

A Major Step Forward

Ezzalzouli has been sidelined since suffering an injury while representing Morocco in a friendly against Norway shortly before the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The setback kept him out of action for Real Betis and prevented him from making a single appearance for the Spanish club since then.

His return to full training now provides an encouraging sign that the Moroccan attacker is ready to begin the final stage of his comeback.

Friday Return in Sight

According to Mundo Deportivo, Ezzalzouli could be included in the Real Betis squad for Friday's La Liga meeting with Real Sociedad.

His potential involvement will ultimately depend on his physical condition and the decision of the coaching staff, but simply returning to full training represents significant progress.

The coming days will offer a clearer indication of whether the Moroccan can make his long-awaited return to competitive action.

Another Attacking Weapon for Betis

Ezzalzouli's return could provide Real Betis with an important boost as the club continues its campaign.

His pace, creativity, technical ability, and versatility on the wing give the Spanish side another dynamic option in the attacking third.

After spending weeks working his way back from injury, the Moroccan will now be eager to turn his return to training into a return to the pitch.

Morocco Watching Closely

For Moroccan supporters, Ezzalzouli's comeback is equally encouraging.

The winger remains an important attacking option for the Atlas Lions, and getting back to full fitness with his club will allow him to rebuild his rhythm and confidence.

The long wait is entering its final chapter. Ezzalzouli is back in full training, and another Moroccan football comeback could be just around the corner.
