Double training session for the lions

Athletic Club have carried out a double training session at Lezama under Gaizka Garitano’s management. This morning’s session focused on physical workout, where the squad was divided in three groups. The first one was made up of the following players: Ezkieta, Herrerín, Ibai, Kodro, Balenziaga, Lekue, De Marcos and Zarraga. In the second, Iru, Simón, Muniain, Vesga, Capa, Morcillo, Dani García and Areso trained together, and finally, Raul García, Iñigo Martínez, Villalibre, Vencedor, Yeray, Iñigo Vicente and Guruzeta were part of the third group.

This evening, Gaizka Garitano will be in charge of his first group training session. 23 footballers are available to take part in it after the PCR tests carried out yesterday. The rest of the staff, the coaching team and those whose work is related to the first squad, have also tested negative.

Only two footballers are working out separately: Yuri Berchiche, who is following an individualised training routine due to the athletic pubalgia he has been suffering since the end of past season, and Peru Nolaskoain, who is recovering from the right ankle injury he picked up as a loanee for Deportivo.
