According to Mundodeportivo.
Context
Edin Terzic, coach of Athletic Club, faces significant challenges due to the absences of several international players. The performances of his replacements, notably Vivian and Guruzeta, will be crucial to maintaining the team's competitiveness in this final.
Why it matters
The Euskal Herria Txapela final is crucial for Edin Terzic and Athletic Club, especially with the absence of several key internationals. The loss of players like Unai Simón and Aymeric Laporte could weaken the team's defense and strategy, impacting their chances of success against Real Sociedad. Additionally, the uncertainty around Álvaro Djaló adds additional pressure on the coach to put together a competitive team.
Key points
- Edin Terzic deprived of five internationals for the final.
- Edin Terzic will face Real Sociedad without several international starters, including Unai Simón, Laporte, Nico Williams and Alex Padilla, retained by their national teams, while Álvaro Djaló has not trained and could miss the match.
- A Terzic solo le faltan los cinco internationales para visitar la Real.
On the eve of the Euskal Herria Txapela final against Real Sociedad scheduled in Anoeta at 7 p.m., coach Edin Terzic faces a complicated situation with the absence of five of his internationals. These unavailabilities weigh on the possible composition of his team for this important meeting.
Among the notable absences, Álvaro Djaló is in limbo. The winger completed his adventure with the Guinea-Bissau selection on Tuesday, where he scored a goal against Nigeria, but he did not participate in the training session this Wednesday morning on field 1 of Lezama. His physical condition therefore leaves doubt over his presence in the group which will go to Donostia.
Goalkeeper Unai Simón, central defender Aymeric Laporte and winger Nico Williams are still mobilized with the Spain team. They will play their third Nations League match against the Czech Republic on Saturday at the Carlos Tartiere stadium in Oviedo. Furthermore, goalkeeper Alex Padilla continues his preparation with the Mexican selection, even if he has not yet played the two friendly matches against Colombia and Peru.
As for the available players, Vivian, Yuri and Guruzeta participated normally in the training open to the media. However, their condition remains to be monitored: central defender Vivian has not yet played this season following a muscle injury, Yuri was slightly injured in the derby against Alavés, and Guruzeta had to withdraw from the last two matches due to a muscle injury in his left leg.
Finally, this Wednesday, the players from the reserve group who had been training in recent days, namely Beñat Larrea, Sola, Selton, Adrián Pérez and Oyono, did not take part in the session with the professional group. Central defender Monreal continues his work with the first team, as do goalkeepers Mikel Santos and Simón García, who are expected to replace Simón and Padilla for the final.
This situation forces Edin Terzic to review his plans and rely on less experienced elements or those returning to the team in order to tackle this match at the top against Real Sociedad, the local team in Anoeta. The meeting therefore promises to be full of challenges, with a reduced squad but still motivated to win this prestigious regional trophy.
The Euskal Herria Txapela final is traditionally an intense duel between Basque clubs, and the absence of several pillars on Terzic's side could redistribute the cards. We will have to closely monitor the tactical choices and possible surprises in the composition of the players on Tuesday evening.
The rest
Edin Terzic will probably have to adjust his tactics and his starting XI depending on the players available. With Vivian, Yuri and Guruzeta returning from injuries, their performance will be key to making up for the absences. The match against Real Sociedad will be a litmus test for Athletic Club, who hope to capitalize on the team's remaining strengths.
