Valverde is counting on Barça’s visit to San Mamés tomorrow with confirmed casualties in Sancet due to suspension and Lekue due to injury. Everything indicates that Unai Simón will not make it to the appointment against the Catalans, but so far there is no confirmation from the club in this regard. The opposite of what is happening to Lekue.
Athletic itself announced the medical part about the Rojiblanco defender’s situation this morning. “Iñigo Lekue is suffering from severe muscle damage at the proximal myotendinous junction of the right rectus femoris muscle. His rehabilitation-readaptation work has begun.”
So Lekue will obviously miss tomorrow’s game. A bit of a problem for Valverde due to the Bilbao player’s versatility to play as a winger, and even as an interior player, on both sides. Especially when De Marcos and Yuri did not train normally this whole week.
