Koikili and Llorente, in Press Room

Koikili Lertxundi and Fernando Llorente have been the star players in the press room on Friday, 20 February. Koikili pointed out that he’s ready for Sunday and that it’s normal to think a bit about the Copa, ‘but we can’t lose sight in the Liga’. He’s also stated that Getafe is a ground that’s always been troublesome for Athletic, but that it’s ‘a good opportunity to win for the first time’.

Llorente also claims to be fit: ‘I hope to be in shape for Sunday. I have lots of possibilities of playing but the mister decides’. He’s insisted that they must continue to concentrate on the Liga and that ‘the Llorente-dependency is silly’.
