Athletic Bilbao HubAthletic Bilbao travels to Saudi Arabia to face the Supercopa. Mikel Santos and Eder, two players from the reserve team, have been called up by coach Valverde.
What has happened?
The coach has chosen to call up the same 23 players who traveled to Iruña on Saturday to face Osasuna, plus the young players Mikel Santos and Eder García. Both showed on Sunday in Lezama against Ponferradina that they are going through a good moment.
Why is it important for Athletic Bilbao?
The inclusion of Mikel Santos and Eder in the team can be a key factor in the Supercopa. The goalkeeper avoided with several actions that the bercianos would advance and the midfielder scored the winning goal after a rebound of the ball on a rival.

Athletic will fight for the title with Unai Simón, Padilla, Santos, Gorosabel, Vivian, Paredes, Vesga, Berenguer, Sancet, Iñaki Williams, Nico Williams, Guruzeta, Areso, Lekue, Galarreta, Jauregizar, Adama, Unai Gómez, Nico Serrano, Navarro, Izeta, Rego, Selton, Monreal, and Eder.
