Imanol had a setback in the game before the World Cup break: Mikel Merino saw a fifth yellow card against Sevilla and will not be able to play on Saturday. There is a huge margin to eliminate the problem and the coach will make the decisive week for his contingency plan on Monday in the face of such a related absence. Merino, who on Saturday repeated the full training in Zubieta, is in Coria and the tactical resource is to eliminate a midfield of three high-end parts such as Zubimendi, Silva and Brais. It is likely that, in view of the successful result, it will be the same device for the derby against Osasuna this Saturday. Navarro and Cho lean on the wings of the attack on Sorloth, the only point on Coria. Turrientes is another safe casualty for this match in midfield. Alone, Barrenetxea, Carlos Fernández and Sadiq were also sent off because they were still on the sidelines and, although he was repeatedly in the group, Oyarzabal had to wait. If Imanol were to put a diamond in the middle again, Guevara or Illarra would be better than Zubimendi to join Brais and a Silva who would be a born midfielder. Kubo, Cho and Navarro will fight for a position with Sorloth at the top. Aihen, for his part, has options to be called up two months later.
Like Oyarabal, the left back finished the pre-Christmas session at Zubieta and is feeling good. They both worked out the day before and the squad will make it through December 25 without any last-minute setbacks. No one from Sanse trained with the first team, only Karrikaburu, like all season. Next week you can start clarifying the destination as the forward debt of the quarry, pointing to Granada.
