Friendly against Deportivo Alavés in Lezama

Athletic Club face Deportivo Alavés in Lezama this morning at 11:00. It is the lions’ second friendly of the pre-season. The match will be broadcast live on Athletic Club’s official Youtube channel.

Whilst it will be the second test for Gaizka Garitano’s side, it is the third match for Alavés and their new manager, Pablo Machin. The Vitoria-based side have already lost 1-2 to SD Huesca in Ibaia and 2-1 to Osasuna in Tajonar.

Garitano has not announced a squad list. He will have the opportunity to rotate his squad and keep blooding academy players. Jokin Ezkieta will get a shot in goal with Unai Simón being absent.
