The players have returned to training after the defeat at the home of Atletico Madrid.

The countdown to the first leg of the Europa League’s round of 16, set to take place on Thursday evening at the Olimpico, is almost over. Unlike Roma, who played yesterday, the Athletic Club has returned to the field in Lezama today to prepare for their European clash with the “Giallorossi”. Ernesto Valverde has led a training session with reserves Elias, Johanenko, Lete, Beñat García, Olabarrieta, Bita, Oyono, and Hierro. Meanwhile, Oihan Sancet and Álvaro Djalo are still unavailable due to muscle injuries that prevent them from training with the rest of the team. The condition of Sancet, who has also been awarded as the La Liga’s player of the month with 6 goals in 4 matches, will be assessed in the coming days. His potential absence would be a positive sign for the ‘Yellow-reds’, considering the Spanish player is in top form.
