The preseason has started at the end for Larrazabal, the only one of the Athletic players who remained confined among the six who had tested positive for COVID-19 before returning to training. The right winger has not been able to act in any friendly and as he is a very explosive player, he will have to accelerate with express preparation. In any case, his destination is far from the capital of Biscay. He has suitors in Second, but hurries options in First. He will rescind his commitment to Athletic, as Andoni López and Guruzeta have done, and will put a buyback option at his next destination. Larra has made the previous rounds and has followed the guidelines of the last players incorporated.
Williams, Córdoba, Unai López and Núñez began training first after overcoming the contagion, while Sancet also overcame the virus last week. Gaizka Garitano finally has the six affected players. And he is recovering injured. Nolaskoain, absent in August due to a problem in his right ankle, is recovering from the injury he suffered at Deportivo against Rayo Vallecano at the end of June. Last week he started running alone and today he has been able to be with the group.
Yuri is getting better and better and would like to be for the debut in Granada, but he has not made his debut in any friendly and it is very unlikely. The team rested yesterday and is back to work this afternoon. Unai Simón has rejoined the group after his participation with the National Team. Ibai has more time for the broken collarbone.
