Mikel Balenziaga is at Valverde’s disposal again after missing, at least at the international level for Lezama, Tuesday’s session due to a health problem. The veteran left-back was another in the preparatory session conducted yesterday by the lions at the rojiblanco complex. With Yuri missing due to the accumulation of bookings, the Zumarraga defender could be one of the alternatives to play on Saturday at the Mestalla.
It does not seem, in any case, that the coach from Gasteiz will opt for the said alternative. Lekue has more tickets than Balenziaga to act as a left defender, although his good foot is his right. Coincidentally the man from Bilbao has played as a starting eleven in 20 league games played so far: nine of them on the left wing and only two on the right. Everything indicates that in Valencia he will add the tenth.
