Review of the youth academy players called up by Athletic Club during this year
During 2019, several players from Bilbao Athletic have joined the dynamic of the first team with calls up for matches, either official or friendly. Apart from the puppies that Gaizka Garitano has ‘promoted’ to train with Athletic Club at the Lezama facilities, which has occurred relatively frequently, the list of players recruited for matches, in chronological order of the first call of each footballer, is this:
Despite not having any minutes, Iñigo Vicente was included in the list of the match of the Copa del Rey against Sevilla FC belonging to the first leg of the round of 16 in San Mamés which ended in a 1-3 defeat on January 10th.
Following the break due to the teams’ commitments, on March 21 a preliminary match was played in Lezama against SD Eibar which ended in a 3-3 result. The then members of Bilbao Athletic Daniel Vivian, Oihan Sancet and Hodei Oleaga were called up; Vivian entered the field in the 55th minute, Sancet in the 60th and Oleaga did not play.
Also this season 2019-20, the already member of the first team Gaizka Larrazabal debuted in a call up as a starter in the friendly opening of the preseason played in Getxo against Arenas Club on July 20 and ended with a 6-1 victory. In addition, Jesús Areso left in the 64th minute of the preparation game against Toulouse FC that took place on September 5 in Bayonne, commitment to which also traveled Jon Rojo, who did not get to debut.
