Villalibre consults other specialists for his injury

Marcelino García Toral was cautious at the conclusion of the stake between Athletic and Real Madrid, reviewing the medical staff of his team: “Everything suggests that if it is not immediately, in the month of January we can have Vivian and Yuri (Berchiche), we’ll see how Peru goes (Nolaskoain) and that of Villa is a bit more delayed … “, pointed out the Asturian coach, knowing that with the case of the Buffalo from Gernika it rains on wet. The other three lions have already been working with the flock for days.

The January calendar, very loaded between the Cup, Super Cup and League, I would appreciate the gradual progress of the four players, but In the case of Villalibre, extreme caution will be exercised, without rushing to avoid another shock. His left hamstring is cumbersome and tender. The brave striker, with the support of the Athletic doctors who treat him, has consulted other specialists in the field to try to agree on the reasons for his micro-tears in the same area. Specifically, he has been scrutinized by doctors in Vitoria, Pamplona, ​​with the same one that Iker Muniain had previously examined, and in Valencia. All opinions are valid to find the best solution. SHis hamstring is healing, the striker is feeling much better, but for now he works alone in the gym.

On November 19, in the Ciutat de Valencia against Levante, Villalibre retired in tears when he was relieved, again, for a moderate grade II tear in the biceps femoris of his left leg, the third injury, with his consequent relapses, after one of his rides into space. An outstanding absence for Marcelino, who has stayed with what he has been for his forward in the last games of 2021.
