Peru Nolaskoain appears in the call against Osasuna. The one from Zumaia will live his first official match since he closed his loan at Deportivo in July 2020. An ankle injury has kept him out of competition ever since. The midfielder, although he can also act as a center-back, underwent surgery last season and could not have had a better debut of the year. Peru has not played an official match with Athletic since December 3, 2018. Their last three calls for an official match remain for February and March 2021, when he was on the bench against Villarreal, Levante and Granada.
The Guipuzcoan had a start as brutal as it was fleeting in the rojiblanco first team. Without turning 20 and after debuting under Berizzo the rojiblanco extended his contract until 2024 with a termination clause of 60 million euros. The ‘Peru effect’ was diluted after the removal of the Argentine because with Garitano he only entered two more calls before the end of the season at Bilbao Athletic. The following season he was loaned to Deportivo, where he was injured a month before the end of the League, although he partially recovered to end the season on the pitch.
THE ATHLETIC CALL
The footballers relationship that around 7:00 p.m. he traveled to Pamplona -covid protocol advises that soccer players and technicians live in a bubble until the start of the game- includes Luis Bilbao for the first time, an 18-year-old young man with an offensive profile who started the exercise at Basconia (12 games and 2 goals) and who has had 26 minutes at Bilbao Athletic: he started against Deportivo and was injured before the break. The call to face Osasuna keeps Agirrezabala, that after being a starter in the last game due to Simón’s covid and not having competition with the subsidiary, he has a free hand to continue in the team’s dynamics, Nico Williams and Nico Serrano and incorporates Artola. Sillero and Paredes have also trained this week with Athletic, but they will not travel.
