Athletic travel to Barcelona with Yuri Berchiche as final ruling awaited | OneFootball

Athletic have named a 24-man squad for their LaLiga opener at Barcelona on Thursday night, including Yuri Berchiche with his suspension status pending a final decision.

Edin Terzić has called up 24 players for the Camp Nou fixture at 21:00 on matchday 1 of LaLiga EA Sports 2026/27. According to as.com, injured quartet Vivian, Gorosabel, Sannadi and Prados are out, while Nico Serrano and Vencedor miss out for technical reasons.

The travelling party departs Loiu by air at 11:30 on Thursday, due to arrive around 13:15 at the Hyatt Regency Barcelona Tower.

Squad: Unai Simón, Padilla, Paredes, Yeray, Berenguer, Sancet, Williams, Nico Williams, Guruzeta, Areso, Laporte, Rincón, Ruiz de Galarreta, Yuri, Jauregizar, Adama Boiro, Rego, Maroan, Navarro, Gere, Djaló, Canales, Monreal and Johaneko.

Athletic have appealed the Disciplinary Committee’s decision to uphold a one-match ban for Berchiche. The referees’ technical committee has judged his dismissal against Sevilla a clear and obvious error. The club hopes for a positive outcome before kick-off, with Adama Boiro and Jonakeno considered his alternatives.
