One of the biggest games in Spanish football takes place at the San Mames on Sunday, as Athletic Club prepare to take on bitter rivals Real Sociedad. Ernesto Valverde's side are winless in their last three La Liga games and will be looking to end that run in Bilbao.
Both Sancet and Berenguer have been key players for Athletic Club in recent years, and if they are able to play against La Real this weekend, it would be excellent news for Los Leones' chances of beating their great rivals. The next few days will be crucial in determining their availability.
On Monday, Iñaki Williams joined the group after overcoming the muscle overload that prevented him from playing in Valladolid and from training with Ghana.
The other two players in doubt for the game against Real Madrid this coming Sunday did the same. Oihan Sancet and Alex Berenguer began the session alone but then joined their teammates in training, good news when there are only four days left until the San Mamés derby.
In this way, Txingurri could have all his players available, although we will have to see how these two players evolve in the two remaining training sessions and above all the list of chosen ones he offers on Saturday afternoon.
Unai Simón could also be part of the squad for the first time this season. The Murgia goalkeeper has recovered from the operation on his right wrist that he underwent on July 18. At that time, the recovery period was estimated at between four and five months. Now the most optimistic forecast is being fulfilled.
As for those players who played for the national team, their return is also in good condition. Vivian has trained normally with everyone. The Vitoria native played the entire match last Friday against Denmark, but did not play a single minute on Monday against Switzerland in Tenerife. Aitor Paredes and Nico Williams have trained in the gym.
