Real Betis have received a huge boost ahead of their trip to face Rangers in the Europa League opener after four crocked players were given the green light to play.
And they are set to use veteran former Manchester City and Barcelona keeper Claudio Bravo for his first game of the season at Ibrox tomorrow.
The Seville club were facing a goalkeeper crisis for the group stages opener at Ibrox after Portuguese keeper Rui Silva had to be substituted after a thigh tear at half time during their weekend battering at Barcelona and his replacement, Fran Vieites, who usually plays for Betis B in Segunda Federacion - the fourth tier of Spanish football - was brought on to make his debut.
However, Chilean keeper Bravo, who has missed the entire season so far with a calf injury, has been given the all-clear to play against Rangers with the 40-year-old set to start.
Bravo won two La Liga titles and a Champions League with Barca and one English title with City.
And they have been further boosted with three other stars ready to play too, including captain, Mexican international Andrés Guardado, who had been missing with an ankle injury.
Holding midfielder William Carvalho, who has won 80 caps for Portugal, also returned to training after a thigh injury and he was joined by 27-year-old right back Aitor Ruibal who has been declared fit after an appendicitis operation.
The return of the quartet would be a huge boost for Betis boss, former Manchester City and Real Madrid Manuel Pellegrini, who has complained about the lack of squad numbers for their Europa League campaign after they sold key defender Luiz Felipe to Saudi Arabia just ahead of the transfer deadline for £22 million and were not able to replace him.
