One of the unknowns in the new Athletic de Valverde who face next Monday’s league premiere against Mallorca in San Mamés is knowing who will be the starting goalkeeper. Days passed and Unai Simón continued to work outside the group due to his shoulder problems. The international goalkeeper of Atletico, in fact, ended the preseason without participating in any game.
The medical report offered by the club in July to refer to the international goalkeeper’s problem focused on “a supraspinatus tendinopathy in his right shoulder.” The one from Murgia is struggling to reach the match against Mallorca, but it has not been ruled out.
Valverde, if this drop is confirmed, is determined to bet on Ander Iru to start under the sticks in the new season. Igorre’s, who will turn 24 this month, is the Atletico coach’s bet for commitments to St. James’ Park against Newcastle and Lasesarre against Real. Alex Padilla, the other alternative to Unai Simón and the fired Agirrezabala, had his minutes against Mirandés and Alavés.
