This weekend in Spain, the 22nd round of matches of "La Liga" will be played, with the most attention likely being focused on the Seville derby taking place on Saturday. For the third time this year, the two southern Spanish city clubs who have already met twice in the King's Cup will face each other at the "Betis" stadium. For some time now, the top scorer of the Spanish championship, Frederic Kanoute, who plays for "Sevilla", should return to the field in Saturday's match after missing the last round's game against "Real Sociedad" due to a thigh injury. However, "Sevilla" also has problems: defenders Julien Escude and Duda will miss the game due to disqualification, and defender Aitor Ocio will not be able to play due to injury. "Betis" also has its fair share of problems, as they will have to play without the injured Juanito, Nano, Enrique Romero, David Odonkor, Edu, and the disqualified Capi. Another piece of news that caught attention on Friday was the inclusion of former England national team captain David Beckham in the application for the match against "Real Sociedad". "Marca" reported on Friday that if "Real" does not defeat the Basque club on Saturday, the Italian head coach Fabio Capello will be replaced by the reserve team coach Michel. The mood among "Barcelona" fans is cheerful, as on Thursday for the first time since last September, three club forwards trained together: Ronaldinho from Brazil, Samuel Eto'o from Cameroon, and Lionel Messi from Argentina. It is expected that all three will take the field in Sunday's match at home against "Racing" from Santander. Eto'o started training last weekend after not playing for four months due to a cruciate ligament operation. Messi was unable to play for a long time due to a broken foot bone, and Ronaldinho recovered from a knee injury. "Barcelona" should have a slightly easier time on the field as "Racing" will have to do without two of their attacking leaders: Serbian forward Nikola Zigic and attacking midfielder Pedro Munitis. A more somber atmosphere prevails in the "Atletico" camp in Madrid - after last weekend's 3-1 defeat to "Valencia", Portuguese defender Costinha stated that his club "still has a lot to do before they can compete with the strongest teams in Spain". "This is a great club, but the team is not yet very strong," said Costinha on Thursday. "We need to be patient and understand when we can celebrate a victory and when we need to be content with a draw." The "Atletico" team will host another "athletic" team from the Basque country - "Athletic Bilbao" on Sunday at home. "Atletico" will still be without Argentine attacking midfielders Maxi Rodriguez and Bulgarian Martin Petrov in this match, while "Athletic" have no significant absences. 22nd round matches: Saturday Betis Sevilla - Sevilla Real Sociedad - Real Madrid Sunday Atletico Madrid - Athletic Bilbao Barcelona - Racing Santander Celta Vigo - Espanyol Barcelona Gimnastic Tarragona - Osasuna Pamplona Getafe Madrid - Valencia Levante Valencia - Recreativo Huelva Mallorca - Zaragoza Villarreal - Deportivo La Coruna
