According to the report, Betis fear Musonda could be out for some time and want the opinion of the Blues’ medical team.
Midfielder Musonda has played seven games for Betis this season, having originally joined them on loan back in January for the second half of the previous La Liga campaign.
His only goal for the club came in a 2-2 draw at Deportivo back in February - his second appearance during this stint.
