After a week of training, Eibar will play its first friendly of the preseason this afternoon at the Atxabalpe facilities (6.30 pm). It will be against Mirandés of the Second Division in a match that will be behind closed doors.
Being a first test, there will not be too many conclusions to draw. As happens in these friendlies, the intention of Joseph
Luis
Mendilibar It is to give minutes to all their players, both to distribute efforts and for all the players to take on a competitive tone because the start of the season is just around the corner. Most likely, the Biscayan technician will present two different 'eleven' in each period.
The Mirandés who will appear in Atxabalpe today will have very little to do, if nothing else, with the team that marveled last season and that last September was able to tie two goals at Atxabalpe in a friendly between both clubs, in which Alvaro and Merquelanz they overtook the Burgos and Escalante and Sergi
Enrich they worked the comeback to seal the tie.

Iraola He is no longer on the Mirandés bench, now occupied by former sporting player José Alberto López. If Eibar expects signings, the Miranda de Ebro club presents an even greater need, which, today, only has 14 chips in its first team, which will force it to pull the subsidiary to complete the call.

Medical tests to the staff
On the other hand, the first team of Eibar has passed this week through the IMQ Sports Medicine units in Zorrotzaurre to undergo various medical tests.
The medical examination has included multiple aspects such as a kineanthropometric assessment (weight, height and folds), a resting assessment (cardiac auscultation, pulmonary auscultation, resting electrocardiogram and blood pressure), an echocardiography (an ultrasound of the heart) in order to expand the study and detect some of the heart diseases that may go unnoticed in the examination, an electrocardiogram and a maximal stress test with lactates to identify the aerobic and anaerobic level of each player, something useful to better program training sessions.
