Reports link Nelson Deossa's absence at Real Betis to personal controversy
Real Betis midfielder Nelson Deossa has been sidelined for the team's last four matches, sparking speculation regarding the reasons behind his exclusion. Reports from the Spanish media suggest his absence may be linked to a rumored relationship with Daniela Sanchez, the daughter of club legend and consultant Joaquin. Alternative explanations suggest his exclusion is due to frequent appearances in Sevilla nightlife venues, which reportedly occurred following poor team results. Deossa, who was signed from Monterrey for a fee between 12 and 13 million euros, has struggled for consistent playing time under coach Manuel Pellegrini. Pellegrini has favored Sofyan Amrabat, Marc Roca, and Sergi Altimira in the midfield hierarchy. The player last featured for 11 minutes during a Europa League match against Panathinaikos. Neither the club nor the coaching staff has issued an official statement regarding these reports. Statistics show that for the current season, the 26-year-old has made 27 appearances totaling 1,313 minutes, recording only one assist.
