Terzic hopes to have Guruzeta back for Rayo after hamstring relapse | OneFootball

As reported by as.com, Terzic hopes to have Gorka Guruzeta, 30, back when Athletic resume against Rayo Vallecano on 10 October at 14:00, after a hamstring setback ruled him out against Alavés. The striker has endured a stop-start month.

On 9 September, tests by Athletic’s medical staff confirmed a moderate injury to his right hamstring, with his progress to be monitored.

Ten days later, ahead of the Levante trip at the Ciutat de Valencia, he was named in the squad. The match was then postponed due to the weather.

A minor relapse in the same area kept him out of the last squad against Alavés, denying him the derby.

Guruzeta is the piece that completes Athletic’s attack, linking with Sancet from deep and supplying the wingers. He also leads the high press when opponents build from the back.

Since arriving in pre-season, Terzic has been shaping a plan that leans on Guruzeta’s combinations around the box to finish attacks. This pause in league action will help the forward regain his best physical level.
