TO Imanol
Sheriff He is presented with a serious problem for Thursday's meeting in Mendizorrotza. It loses by sanction one of its heaviest elements and, without a doubt, one of the most difficult to replace: Mikel
Merino. The midfielder is sanctioned for accumulating warnings when Osasuna saw his fifth yellow card for “holding an opponent in the dispute of the ball, avoiding a promising attack.” His sustained hold on Iñigo Pérez cost him his fifth yellow card of the season. It was really the sixth, although the Competition Committee took away the one he saw against Valencia for an action with Ferran
towers in which there was no contact.
The advantage is that Merino He will be able to arrive fresh to the important meeting next Sunday against Real Madrid in Anoeta (22 hours) and the problem is presented to Imanol, since it has to try to supply the Navarrese, whose technical and physical work is essential. Maybe Oyarzabal As a steering wheel it can be the best alternative to Navarre.
