Villalibre signs up for the match against Atlético

Asia Villalibre signs up for the match against Atlético this Saturday in San Mamés. The Gernika striker has normally completed the training session held today at the Lezama facilities, the penultimate of the week before receiving the colchoneros in the appointment that will begin at nine o’clock at night.

The ‘Búfalo’ suffered a muscle injury in the medial adductor of his right leg in the match against Celta played on April 17 that ended with a heavy defeat (0-2). The striker replaced Iñaki Williams after the break, but had to leave the pitch in the 72nd minute for him to enter Nico Serrano instead and he no longer played the next game, against Cádiz at the Nuevo Mirandilla.

Everything indicates that Iñigo Lekue will return to the call. The Deusto winger has missed the last four games due to a muscle injury suffered in training on March 24. Alex Petxarroman will possibly cause low. The man from San Sebastian has exercised on the sidelines in recent days and today he has not been with the group in the open-door session due to a slight overload. Athletic’s president, Aitor Elizegihas witnessed the work of the players.

Oihan Sancet is also not available. The Navarrese striker, one of the sensations of the season, has a personalized plan to solve the pubic discomfort that has already prevented him from traveling to Cádiz.

In this situation, Marcelino will possibly choose Iñaki Williams y Raul Garcia on point. The Navarrese will reach the madridista Raúl in the third drawer of the podium of the footballers with the most games played in the history of the League, behind Andoni Zubizarreta y Joaquin.

Athletic needs to beat Atlético yes or yes to hurry up all the options of finishing the League as seventh, a position that would allow them to play the Conference League as long as Villarreal does not win the Champions League. The yellow team is the one that occupies that position at the moment, with a four-point advantage over the lions. On Saturday he visits Alavés after losing yesterday against Liverpool in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final (2-0) and with almost all the senses put into the second leg that will be played next Tuesday at the Estadio de la Cerámica. At stake is a place in the grand final of the highest European competition.
