For now, Athletic will begin the final phase of preparation for this Sunday’s match in San Mamés against Betis. The rojiblanca squad, which enjoyed a rest day yesterday, was summoned by Valverde for a work session that will begin at 10:30 am in Lezama. Unlike on Tuesday and as has been the case for several years, practice will be behind closed doors.
The absence of De Marcos through injury, pending official confirmation from the club, opens the doors of ownership at right-back to Iñigo Lekue. The man from Bilbao, in fact, has already replaced the player from Alava at El Sadar. He also did it in a complicated way, because he was immediately reprimanded, according to the minutes, “holding an opponent in the dispute for the ball, preventing a promising attack.” For not having that action, there is no sin.
The receptions planned by Athletic on the occasion of Aste Nagusia ended yesterday after the visit of representatives of the Provincial Council of Bizkaia with Elixabete Etxanobe, deputy general, at the head. Before the final formal reception, Jon Uriarte and some of his executives received about thirty members in Ibaigane.
