Athletic at full strength for Valencia as Yuri manages load, Prados steps up return

Athletic returned to Lezama on Tuesday with the full squad available for Sunday’s key meeting with Valencia at San Mamés at 16:15.

According to AS, Yuri Berchiche, a starter in the recent win over Alavés, did not join the main outdoor drill, managing his workload at the start of the week. The left back will bring up his 300th Primera match against Corberán’s side.

Beñat Prados continues to accumulate full sessions to put himself in contention to reappear before the final four league matches. The Navarrese midfielder underwent anterior cruciate ligament surgery seven and a half months ago.

Ernesto Valverde oversaw the session, instilling the ambition to break into European places.

That aim hinges on taking three points against a Valencia team who cannot afford to switch off.
