The needs of the first team are forcing Xabi
Alonso to make a puzzle to organize each training session and each preseason friendly. Today he will have to reconcile the remaining pieces to face Eibar in Asti (11.00 h.) In what will be his third friendly of the preseason after debuting with victory against Toulouse (1-2) and defeating Osasuna on Tuesday in Zubieta B (3-1).
For this afternoon's game, the Toulouse coach will not be able to count on the six players who trained with the first team yesterday and who will play in Anoeta against Alavés today. We talk about the goalkeeper Gaizka
Ayesa, of Beñat
Turrientes, of Alex
Alone, of Peter
Pokorny, of Robert
Lopez and of Julen
Lobete. At six you have to add the injured Jon
Ander
Olasagasti Y Urko
Gonzalez
of
Zarate, which are recovered from their respective operations and also to Jon
Karrikaburu, which as happened before Osasuna B is not available. What's more, George
Martinez–Slab, who played and scored against the Navarrese subsidiary, will also not be due to having been loaned to Calahorra.
The only good and great news will be the return to a playing field of Luca
Sangalli, who has not played a game since March 10, 2020, precisely against Eibar. Two knee operations have kept him in the dry dock since June and, after returning to training last week and being out of the call in Tuesday's friendly, he will be part of the call today for Xabi
Alonso, which will surely give you a few minutes.
Eibar arrives with many new faces and with the covid hitting hard, which has forced him to cancel his stage in Kossen for one in La Nucía. He has played only one friendly that he lost against Calahorra (2-1), since he had to suspend the one scheduled against Logroñés due to the covid.
