Yuri trains with group, Laporte sits out at Lezama | OneFootball

Yuri Berchiche returned to full training on Wednesday morning, while Aymeric Laporte missed the Lezama session as Athletic’s only absentee.

According to AS, both situations were related to workload management ahead of Sunday’s crucial meeting with Valencia at San Mamés.

The rest of the squad, including Beñat Prados, are available for the four Liga matches that remain.

Spirits were high as team-mates marked Yeray Álvarez’s contract extension for two more seasons, until June 2028, with an ovation and playful slaps.

The centre-back started against Alavés at Mendizorroza and has resumed normality after serving a 10-month UEFA ban.
