As reported by as.com, Athletic head coach Edin Terzic has named a 22-man squad for Friday’s Euskal Herria Txapela final against Real Sociedad at Anoeta at 19:00, with Vivian, Guruzeta and Canales back from injury.
Five internationals are absent: Unai Simón, Padilla, Laporte, Nico Williams, who has returned injured, and Djaló.
Particularly encouraging is the international centre-back’s return after four months out with adductor insertion problems. Terzic could give minutes to all three, and the occasion also offers opportunities for less-used players such as Rincón, Rego, Nico Serrano, Prados and Sannadi.
The goalkeepers will be youngsters Mikel Santos and Simón García. No outfield player from the reserves features, given the B team’s Primera Federación fixture against Extremadura at Lezama on Sunday at 12:00.
Athletic’s squad: Simón García, Mikel Santos, Vivian, Paredes, Yeray, Prados, Berenguer, Sancet, Williams, Guruzeta, Areso, Rincón, Ruiz de Galarreta, Yuri Berchiche, Jauregizar, Rego, Sannadi, Nico Serrano, Navarro, Gerenabarrena, Canales and Johaneko.
