The presence of Yeray and Petxa constitutes the main novelty in Athletic’s squad for tomorrow’s League match against Mallorca. Iñigo Martínez is dismissed due to sanction and De Marcos and Capa for being confined after having tested positive for coronavirus. The casualties chapter is completed with the injured Vencedor and Nico Williams.
Yeray, who last Thursday against Valencia had to be changed due to knee problems, travels with the team, although his presence in the starting eleven is not guaranteed in advance. The Petxa thing is also somewhat striking, since last Tuesday he had to confine himself to his home because of COVID-19. Everything pointed to the absence of the man from San Sebastian, but Marcelino himself had already anticipated before the start of the last training session for the lions that the footballer was recovered.
Athletic’s squad is made up of Unai Simón, Ezkieta, Petxa, Nuñez, Yeray, Vesga, Berenguer, Sancet, Iñaki Williams, Muniain, Vivian, Dani García, Lekue, Yuri, Zarraga, Villalibre, Raúl García, Balenziaga and Nico Serrano.
