The absence came when everything pointed to normality. The midfielder from Eibar had made the list after completing Saturday's training without issues, but the club announced his definitive withdrawal just over an hour before the match started, with a clear message: «because he became a father».

With that move, the club decided to bring in Iñigo Lekue, who had not appeared in recent call-ups and is facing the final days of his contract. The change also forced Ernesto Valverde to readjust pieces for a match marked by European aspirations.

Valverde adjusts the double pivot

Without Galarreta, the coach reorganized the midfield in the starting eleven against Valencia. Rego and Jauregizar formed the starting double pivot, while Vesga and Unai Gómez remained as bench alternatives in a key match for Athletic.
