Athletic will start the preseason in Lezama

The vacation is over. He Athletic it continues. I’m years after being a champion. A new hope to be given a continuation was made last year. The period of return to Europe and to the incentive of that final in San Mames that many will talk about. A campaign with four competitions and, at least, 48 games. It all starts today at Lezama (10.30 am), with the lions divided into two groups. Some will pass standard medical tests and others will conduct field work. Tomorrow they will exchange roles and the first joint session will be on Wednesday.

Ninth season for Valverde at the command of Athletic. He will take the initial step with 29 football players under his management. Agirrezabala, Padilla, Gastesi, De Marcos, Gorosabel, Rincón, Paredes, Yeray, Egiluz, Lekue, Yuri, Imanol, Adama, Vesga, Galarreta, Prados, Herrera, Jauregizar, Unai Gómez, Sancet, the renewed Berenguer, Iñaki Williams, Guruzeta , Villalibre, Martón, Adu Ares, Nico Serrano, Djaló and Olabarrieta are mentioned in the Zurigorris facilities.

First day away Muniain, Raúl García or Dani García. It’s going to be weird. Instead, it will be the premiere of Alvaro Djaló (Braga) and Gorosabel (Alavés) with his new teammates. The only two signings so far under discussion Aimar Orozof Laporteof Ivan Martin…the summer is long. Also noteworthy are the seven puppies that Txingurri called (Padilla, Gastesi, Rincón, Egiluz, Adama Boiro, Jauregizar and Olabarrieta) and those returning from debt (Serrano and Martón).

There are four lions that will start later. Exactly one of the loans. Victor has an extra week off because last season was extended with the Eibar for their playoff performance. The remaining triplet is the one found in European Cup: First Simón, Vivian and Nico Williams. For the convenience of Valverdeno player of Athletic was summoned for Olympic Games although there are several candidates. It can be said that the goalkeeper will return later due to the surgery he will undergo on his wrist when the team’s participation is over. Spain in Germany. It certainly is Agirrezabala was between the sticks on opening day.

In these early stages it will be interesting to see the state of the troops affected last season. To watch the shoulders of Yuri and Nico Serrano. The full-back suffered a dislocation in the last crash of League in Vallecas and the winger underwent surgery a month ago due to a repeated dislocation and, a priori, he still has two or three days of recovery left.

There is no summer phase this year. All work will be done on Lezama and the Athletic He will only travel to make friends. For the first we have to wait until Saturday the 20th, against Burgos in El Plantío. Then the lions see each other’s faces career (Barakaldo, 24), Sports (Lisbon, 27), Eibar (Sestao, 1), Aston Villa (Walsall, 7) and Stuttgart to his clergy (10). And the date and stage of the final of EH Txapela against Osasuna. All eyes are on Thursday, August 15, when the debut will come League in front of Getafe in San Mames.
