The plane carrying the Athletic Club squad to Madrid for tomorrow’s fixture with Atlético Madrid was not been able to land at the Adolfo Suarez Barajas Airport due to wintery conditions, being forced to turn around and head back to Bilbao.
The rojiblancos’ flight took off one hour later than planned under the initial assurance that it would be able to land in Madrid.
Whilst making the approach to land, after 30 minutes of waiting and without certainty that landing would be possible, the captain recommended returning to Bilbao, where the plane landed safely at 22:00 CET.
With respect to the match at the Wanda Metropolitano against Atletico Madrid scheduled for 16:15 CET tomorrow, it is hoped we will be able to report further once we have information from LaLiga regarding what will happen with the fixture.
Athletic Club is in contact with LaLiga and Atlético de Madrid so as to make a decision as soon as possible.
