Athletic Club travels to the Metropolitano with significant absentees
Atlético de Madrid is preparing to host Athletic Club in an exciting match at the Metropolitano. However, the visiting team arrives with some significant absentees that could influence the course of the game.
Ernesto Valverde, Athletic’s coach, will not be able to count on Sancet, who suffered a muscle injury in the rectus femoris during the last match against Valladolid. This absence represents a tough blow for the Bilbao team’s midfield, depriving them of a key player in the game’s creation.
Added to this absence is that of Djaló, who continues to recover from an ankle sprain that has kept him away from the pitch for the past few weeks. Athletic’s defense is thus weakened, losing an important player in the back line.
Fortunately, Yuri has overcome a flu and will be available for the match. Nico Williams is also in the squad, after recovering from a similar process. Valverde has called up 22 players, including the young talents Canales and other important players of the team.
The Athletic Club expedition will leave for Madrid on Saturday morning, with the hope of adding important points in their visit to the Metropolitano. Despite the absentees, the team travels with the conviction to face Atlético de Madrid and offer a great show to their fans.
