ANDl Athletic passes a few hours of rest before the squad rejoins in Lezama. Doctors’ offices and massage rooms will be busier than ever. On Wednesday, Real Madrid and the two training sessions before the game will be aimed at recovery. “We will start to think about that match with the afternoon training and we will assess the wear and tear on Tuesday. We will see how the players recover after the effort, but we can make some changes, “explained Marcelino on Sunday..
The casualty account Because of the work it took to win Betis, it is extensive. Yeray ended up battered because he played the whole game with problems. In training on Saturday he received a blow to the left foot and he played in pain and with functional limitation. He had to be treated before the game and at halftime so that I could fill in the minutes. The central line is the one that worries the most because Nuñez, who played for the COVID contagion of Iñigo Martínez, accused the effort in the final stretch of the meeting.
The recovery of both is more than necessary since Iñigo Martínez will remain out because the COVID protocol prevents him from returning before 10 days of isolation and Vivian is still missing training after the muscle injury he suffered in October. From to have been a final match, Vivian could have been forced, but it gives the feeling that with half the league ahead there will be no risks.
The alternative of the subsidiary is Paredes, who was already called up against Betis, although Marcelino in case of need could hand over the central position to Balenziaga and play with Lekue on the left side. In the event that Yeray does not pass the training sessions, the technician He would turn to another Bilbao Athletic player in addition to Paredes to extend the call.
In the central plot the technician will have Dani García, who returns after serving a penalty game for accumulation of cautions, to pair with Victor, one of the most prominent footballers in the last victory against Betis. Vesga and Zarraga are alternatives for the development of the clash.
THE ATTACK AND THE GOAL
The physios and recuperators will be very aware of the discomfort referred to by attacking footballers. Muniain, who was substituted, is touched -weeks ago he had to rest a whole game because he was at risk of injury- and Iñaki Williams, who excelled in several actions at the cost of an extraordinary physical response, with revealing data on runs of intensity, speed and participation in the game. The forward scored two of Athletic’s three goals in his 213rd consecutive LaLiga match.
The situation in the goal was known before the game against Betis: the ownership will be for Agirrezabala. The U21 international will play the last two games of 2021 because Simón is affected by COVID and the regulations require that he be confined for 10 days. The term will be fulfilled during the vacation period. Agirrezabala, who this afternoon has been chosen by the club to appear at a press conference, will play his fourth game of the season with the first team after the ties with Elche and Barcelona and the recent victory against Betis. The debut in the dynamics of the first team brought him closer to the plan of the U21, where he already counts as one more and since October he has played against Slovakia, Northern Ireland, Malta and Russia
