Isla Canela, the 17th of July

After yesterday’s match against Benfica, Athletic started their training session a bit later than usual. The delay to the start of the match along with Iraizoz’s concussion, which occurred when he crashed into a Portuguese striker, made the expedition leave the Municipal Football Field at Vilarreal de San Antonio quite late and this caused their arrival to be at 2 in the morning.

So, the Lions have been summoned today at 11:15. Those players who played the whole 90 minutes did some recovery physical exercises. Those that played 45 minutes or less trained with more intensity at the gym.

In the afternoon the team will train at 19:00 on the football pitch.
