Athletic Club Put to the Test at the Metropolitano
Athletic Club is preparing for a crucial match at the Metropolitano, looking to solidify its place in the upper echelons of LaLiga. Despite the notable absence due to injury of Oihan Sancet, a key player with his 13 goals, and the absence of Djaló, the team arrives with high morale after a week of preparation.
Ernesto Valverde welcomes back Nico Williams, having overcome his flu-like symptoms, and Yuri Berchiche, which strengthens the options for the starting eleven. Unai Simón is expected to defend the goal, with a defensive line formed by De Marcos, Vivian, Yeray and Berchiche or Boiro.
In midfield, Prados or Galarreta alongside Jauregizar will be in charge of containment and creation. Up front, the Williams brothers and Berenguer will look to make up for the absence of Sancet, although Unai Gómez could also have his chance, with Guruzeta as the reference point in attack. The team, aware of the difficulty of the opponent, is confident in its solidity and the talent of its players to achieve a positive result in this important challenge.
