Athletic returned to work in Lezama today after enjoying a rest day yesterday. Valverde has also scheduled another morning training session for tomorrow and on Sunday, Christmas Day, he will give his team a rest. The lions will return to work on Monday thinking about the league match that awaits them next Thursday from 7:15 pm against Betis in Villamarín.
The rojiblanco club is now awaiting, on the other hand, the result of the draw for the round of 16 Cup. In this new round, which will continue to be played in the same match, Real Madrid, Barça, Valencia and Betis are already in the hype. The four teams are exempt for now due to their participation in the Spanish Super Cup which will be played from January 11 to 15.
In case the draw for this new cup round, which is scheduled to start at 12:30 pm, involves teams from different categories, the match will always be played at the stadium of the lower division team. If two teams are in the same category, the order of appearance in the draw will indicate which is the home team.
