Ustaritz and Orbaiz, in the press room

Players Ustaritz Aldekoaotalora and Pablo Orbaiz were in the press conference room at San Mamés on Thursday, 28 January.

The defender pointed out that he had trained, however, cautiously due to the slight discomfort he is suffering from, ‘but this is over and I’m only thinking about Espanyol’. Furthermore he admitted that one trained with a bit more enthusiasm when knowing that there is a chance of playing: ‘What I must do is my best so that I can keep on having playing options’.

As far as the midfielder was concerned he said that he had never been to the Espanyol’s new football grounds, Cornellà-El Prat and that surely the local team would be going after everything: ‘The situation they are in make them more dangerous if this is possible’. Finally he emphasized that ‘I don’t know who’s going to play in place of the banned players, but whoever they are they will give it their all’.
