Athletic Club's winger Álvaro Djaló missed another training session on July 28, 2026, at the Lezama facilities, raising concerns about a potential groin injury. Djaló, who was seen holding his groin while talking with Eibar players during halftime of a recent friendly, has not played any minutes against Eibar. The club has not released an official statement regarding his health status. Djaló is trying to earn a place in the squad after a season on loan in Qatar, having started preseason well with two assists against Derio and two goals against Leioa. Coach Edin Terzic also cannot count on injured players Gorosabel, Vivian, and Vesga (who is training separately as his future is clarified). Athletic faces Racing in their first match against a same-category rival this Wednesday.

Athletic Club continues preparations for the return to competition at the Lezama Facilities. The red-and-whites will face Racing this Wednesday in what will be their first match against a rival from the same category. Head coach Edin Terzic remains attentive to the infirmary.

In Tuesday's session, the German coach was unable to count on Gorosabel, Vivian, Vesga, or Djaló. The first two continue recovering from their respective injuries, while Vesga trains separately as his future is clarified. Meanwhile, the club is still awaiting the medical report on Djaló, who was absent again today after not having played any minutes against Eibar. The Guinean international was seen in Gazituaga talking with Eibar players during halftime while holding his groin, suggesting his issues may stem from that area.

No Statement

Athletic has not released any statement regarding the health status of Djaló, who is looking to earn his place in the team after a season on loan in Qatar. The winger started the preseason well, providing two assists against Derio and scoring two goals against Leioa, and he was seen with intensity and eagerness to seek his opportunity in the squad.
