Athletic Club - Getafe

Match date: 25/10-14:00

Athletic Club

The Athletic Club host Getafe under pressure to find a win that has been eluding them for several matchdays. After the setback they suffered against Levante last Wednesday, in the rescheduled league match, the Basque side are not forced to take all three points against their Madrid opponents.

For this game, the coach will not be able to call on Guruzeta, who is out for the long term with a ligament rupture, nor on Sancet, who continues his recovery from a muscle injury.

Nor will Laporte be available for the clash. The Athletic Club international defender was sent off in the match against Levante.

The players will have the support of their fans from the stands, although supporters' patience is starting to run out as they do not see results that match the squad's potential.

Getafe CF

After the shameful spectacle of Conference the Getafe will have to make a trip to a league classic.

The well-justified anger of Bordalás after the European defeat suggests a return to the essence of Getafe, with a clear and defined XI in which rotations and surprises will be the exception. The problem is the short squad and the demand to compete in three competitions.

With standout players and others marked as must-haves, the XI that will play in Bilbao seems clear. Djené will miss the game through suspension, and Romero and Mangala are out with injury. Boselli and Sazonov will have options.

It would be crucial to recover players who are carrying knocks or any injured player, but it seems unlikely.
