MDThe substitution took place practically at the same time as Alex Berenguer put Athletic ahead with a free-kick from the side of the area. However, Edin Terzic had already prepared the replacement before the Navarrese player carried out the action that ended in a goal.
Iñaki Williams was the one who told the bench that Ruiz de Galarreta could not continue. The coaching staff were already monitoring the situation and had ordered Beñat Gerenabarrena and Alejandro Rego to warm up. In the end, the German coach chose the first of the two to take the midfielder's spot.
The Eibar player had started the match as a starter in midfield alongside Peio Canales, but problems in his right leg prevented him from continuing in the clash against the Getafe.
Concern at Athletic now focuses on how serious the discomfort is, as there is still no specific information about the extent of the physical issue.
Although Ruiz de Galarreta has suffered different muscular setbacks throughout his career, he had gone through a prolonged spell without missing matches for this reason.
In fact, 22 months had passed since his last physical problem that kept him from playing. Throughout last season, he did not have to miss any fixture due to a muscular injury.
To find his previous absence for physical reasons, you have to go back to December 2024. On that occasion, the midfielder only missed one match, the first game of 2025.
