Guruzeta returns as Athletic bulk up Lezama group with youngsters | OneFootball

Athletic returned to Lezama on Tuesday after four days off, without internationals Simón, Padilla, Laporte, Nico Williams and Djaló. Edin Terzic welcomed back striker Gorka Guruzeta from a muscle injury, Yuri Berchiche from managed workload, and continued to ease in Vivian after adductor issues.

According to as.com, the first team resumed routine following a light session on Monday evening.

The German coach drafted in several from Bilbao Athletic. Adrián Pérez, Selton, Oyono, Larrea, Monreal and Sola trained with the seniors.

With Simón and Padilla away, extra goalkeepers were used. Third-choice Mikel Santos was joined by Simón García, Pagazartundua and Gallastegi between the posts.

Athletic play the EH Txapela against Real Sociedad at Anoeta on Friday at 19:00, a chance to assess those short of minutes early in the campaign.

Their next league match is on the 10th against Rayo Vallecano.
