Athletic has included a 17-year-old young man in its list of 23 players for the match against Getafe: Txus Vizcay. The striker, who belongs to the Bilbao city club, joins Edin Terzic's squad after Guruzeta's injury, which will mean he will be sidelined for the entire season, and the absence of other attackers.
The coach confirmed the inclusion of Vizcay in the official list and highlighted that the decision is due to the need to reinforce the attacking front. Iñaki Williams, who is also on the squad, described the young man as a “great novelty” and Terzic's commitment to cover the deficiencies in the offensive zone.
In addition to Guruzeta, the team is affected by the loss of Djaló and Sancet, who are recovering from muscle injuries. Winger Djaló has suffered a virus after his trip to Guinea-Bissau, while playmaker Sancet is in the final phase of his rehabilitation. It is also mentioned that Laporte must serve a one-match suspension after his expulsion in the match against Ciutat de València.
Athletic has a squad that includes Unai Simón, Padilla, Vivian, Paredes, Yeray, Prados, Berenguer, Iñaki Williams, Nico Williams, Areso, Hugo Rincón, Ruiz de Galarreta, Yuri, Jauregizar, Rego, Maroan, Nico Serrano, Robert Navarro, Gerenabarrena, Canales, Johaneko, Imga and the new signing Vizcay.
With the call finalized, the team prepares for the match in San Mamés, where they must demonstrate their ability to overcome the difficulties in attack and maintain competitiveness in the first final of the season. The performance of Vizcay and the rest of the squad will be crucial for Athletic's strategy in the coming games.
