Sancet to Miss Clash Against Atleti
Bad news from Bilbao: Oihan Sancet, a key player for Athletic, will be out for two weeks due to a moderate muscle problem in the rectus femoris of his right leg. This ailment will prevent him from facing Atlético de Madrid in the crucial match next Saturday at the Metropolitano.
This absence is a major blow for the Bilbao team, as Sancet has established himself as the team’s top scorer in the current League, with 13 goals, and is in excellent form. In fact, he is the first Athletic player to score in four consecutive League games in a decade, a milestone that puts him in the sights of the National Team.
The coach must now look for alternatives to replace his absence. Among the options considered are the possibility of returning Berenguer to the attacking midfield or giving Unai Gómez an opportunity.
Sancet’s absence adds to the possible absence of Djaló, further complicating the panorama for Athletic in their visit to the Metropolitano. Despite these difficulties, the Red and White fans are confident that the team will be able to stand up to Atlético and obtain a positive result.
