Yesterday, Athletic started preparing for next Sunday’s match against Betis in Villamarín. Valverde recruited a good representation of puppies from Bilbao Athletic for this preparation session. The red and white club itself is in charge of detailing that the first team coach’s choices for this working day are Egiluz, Hugo Rincón, Olabarrieta, Mattheus, Adama and Ibon Sánchez. Jauregizar, who completed Sunday’s derby against Alavés B under Gurpegi, is also.
It doesn’t look, in any case, that this general ‘up’ will continue for the rest of the week. All indications are that Hugo Rincón, due to the muscle injury that forced Lekue to be substituted in the match against Girona last Monday, will continue under Valverde’s orders for the next few days, something that is not the first Chances are it’s happening so far this season. . The Navarrese right back, in fact, has been called up for Athletic, although he has yet to make his official debut as a lion.
Jauregizar is also a regular in the first team dynamic. The caveat since he joined the job with the lions was recorded at the weekend, when Valverde, given the defeats in Gerenabarrera and Bita reserve team, accepted the fact that the player from Bermeo will step down to compete in Bilbao Athletic. Gurpegi’s team is grateful for their presence in an intense and tough derby that ended in a 2-1 victory for Bilbao and the most puppies in the first position after the tie achieved by Barakaldo, second classified with eight points which is lower.
The visit to Villamarín this Sunday will serve as a preamble to a week with two more very important matches for the future of both the cup and the league of lions. After the match against Betis, Atlético de Madrid will visit San Mamés in the second leg of the Cup semi-final. The Bilbao team will face this rivalry against the Colchoneros with a one-goal advantage thanks to the 0-1 score in the first leg and the absolute environmental factor. in his favor.
Yeray Earrings
Days later, on Sunday March 3 specifically, it will be Barça that will appear in the red and white stadium. The Blaugrana are currently in third position in the table with five points ahead of the lions, fifth, but before reaching the Botxo they have to host Getafe in Montjuïc this Saturday.
There are some doubts surrounding Athletic ahead of this new week of three games. Lekue, meanwhile, is out with his muscle problem. De Marcos replaced him against Girona, but there is no other particular right-back in the current red and white squad. Hence the inclusion of Hugo Rincón who has gained defensive consistency since Gurpegi and Murillo were on the Bilbao Athletic bench.
We also have to pay attention to the condition of Yeray, who did not finish the match against Girona due to physical problems. The club has not released information about his condition, so there is no reason to think that it is something serious.
