This season there have been several puppies who have made it into the Athletic first team, and some of them have made it to stay. Beñat Prados, First Gómez either Mikel Jauregizar They are three of the newcomers who surprised us and thanks for the trust of Valverde, they give everything to get a place in the first team. However, others like it Imanol García de Albéniz They did not suffer the same fate. The left-handed back, a footballer from the Lezama youth team, ended up in the First Division after two fruitful loan spells at Mirandés and Eibar, and although he had a few minutes at the start of the campaign, he was relegated to ostracism.
The native of Gallarta does not have the confidence of the coach and everything indicates that this will continue to be the case, so it would not be unusual for him to try his luck outside of Bilbao. Despite that, maybe there’s still a bit of an option Imanol can take field with Athletic. To the detriment of Inigo Lekue and considering that Yuri Berchiche He has yet to train a day this week with the group, the young defender could star in tomorrow’s game against Betis as he is a pure left back. However, it is an unlikely possibility that that appears Yuri He might be in Villamarín on Sunday, and if not, someone tells me that Valverde I will look for another replacement to replace it.
