La Real resume work in Zubieta during FIFA’s new international break | OneFootball

La Real returned to Zubieta today after six days off in the season’s first international break, with Deportivo visiting Anoeta on Sunday 11 October. FIFA’s new window replaces the usual October pause and will remain in place at least until 2030.

According to Diario Vasco, Matarazzo gave almost a week’s holiday to non-internationals after last Monday’s recovery session following the win over Valencia. Training restarts without nine internationals, and the American plans individualised work to bed in ideas that are harder in congested weeks.

He has a core of 13 first-teamers, supplemented by Sanse, with Beitia and Marchal already involved, and more youngsters could be added if needed. Available are Remiro and Marrero, Fort, Aihen, Sergio Gómez, Pacheco, Gorrotxategi, Turrientes, Marín, Soler, Zakharyan, Barrenetxea, Guedes and Marchal. He is also without the injured Zubeldia and Odriozola, with Zubeldia’s right hamstring problem to be monitored.

The week closes on Friday with the Euskal Herria Txapela final against Athletic at Anoeta, a friendly but still a derby. The break should help Fort, Gorrotxategi, Marín and Guedes to sharpen fitness and understanding, with Fort still adjusting after a late arrival.

Kubo, Ochieng and Sarr finish international duty between one and four October and are due back early in the third week. The rest are tied up until six October, leaving three to four days to prepare for Dépor, before seven matches to nine November in La Liga and the Europa League.
