Terzic welcomes back Canales but loses Guruzeta for the Alavés derby | OneFootball

Edin Terzic welcomes back Peio Canales but loses Gorka Guruzeta for Athletic’s derby at home to Alavés, according to El Correo. Guruzeta has renewed discomfort from a right hamstring issue sustained a few days ago.

The striker missed the match against Elche, then returned to the squad for the postponed Levante fixture. He has now suffered a setback and Terzic will be cautious with him.

Terzic trusts Maroan, Guruzeta and Iñaki as number nine options and is satisfied with his centre forwards. He expects rotation and opportunities for them to show their importance. The choice between Iñaki or Maroan to start remains for this afternoon.

The positive for Athletic is Canales’s return after being out since one September with a left soleus problem. He was left out against Atlético and Elche, checking a strong start to the season. He trained as normal at Lezama yesterday.

Dani Vivián is also absent. The centre-back is expected to return to a squad after the two-week international break.
