Marcelino activates his lions in the hours before the semifinal against Madrid

Athletic prepares in detail tonight's semifinal against Real Madrid. Marcelino has scheduled the usual activation session prior to the match with his players, without leaving the concentration hotel on this occasion. Health protocols prevail above all in the rojiblanca delegation.

This time, unlike what happened in 2015 with all the members of Athletic's first team, the injured have not traveled to Malaga. Both Yuri and Unai López and Nolaskoain have continued with their respective recovery plans in Lezama. The problems to travel to Andalusia have also weighed on the decision of those responsible for the club.

Aitor Elizegi, the president of the Bilbao club, traveled yesterday with the rojiblanca expedition together with two of its directors. Athletic has two plans for the trip back home, logically depending on what happens tonight against Madrid.
