Latest news on Laporte's injury in a session with Nico Williams' absence

Athletic Club

The Athletic's first team returned to the Lezama routine on Monday after the blow at the Pizjuán. The team is stuck in La Liga and with the opportunity to advance in the Champions League: facing Sporting de Portugal on Wednesday and the derby against Real Sociedad on Sunday, both at San Mamés. Ernesto Valverde recovers the suspended Guruzeta and assesses Aymeric Laporte, who leaves behind a hamstring injury almost two months later.

The return of Athletic to training came with encouraging signs: the group trained in the usual dynamics and the coach can now count on the suspended Guruzeta. With two open commitments ahead, the planning focuses on adjusting loads and pieces for a San Mamés that will decide much of the Lions' week.

Aymeric Laporte, who has been easing the hamstring injury suffered in early December, trained normally in Monday's session. The center-back could be called up as soon as Wednesday against the Portuguese team or be saved for Sunday's derby against Real Sociedad, crucial in the battle for points in La Liga against the txuri-urdin. Nico Williams, a substitute in the Pizjuán, worked with the starters from the match against Sevilla inside the facilities.
