Valverde protects Berchiche and Berenguer at Lezama | OneFootball

Yuri Berchiche and Álex Berenguer skipped Thursday’s group session at Lezama, the latter nursing a sore toe, with injured Laporte and Vesga also absent.

According to as.com, Berchiche returned against Cultural Leonesa on Tuesday at the Reino de León after Paredes was sent off. The international centre-back will rejoin training next week after making progress in his recovery from a severe injury to the left biceps femoris.

Meanwhile, Egiluz continued individual work outside the facility as he recovers from cruciate ligament surgery.

Those who started against Cultural trained indoors, while the remaining substitutes stepped up preparations for Saturday’s match against RCD Mallorca in Palma.

Berenguer went outside to work with the ball and jog, and his progress will decide whether he makes the squad list. Berchiche is in line to start.
