Edin Terzic leaves Galarreta and Prados on the bench in Athletic Bilbao's win
Athletic Bilbao thrash Leioa 11-0 in their second pre-season friendly, with Edin Terzic not trusting Iñigo Ruiz de Galarreta and Beñat Prados. The Austrian coach decided not to count on the two midfielders in the starting lineup, which has generated some controversy among fans.
What happened in Sarriena?
Both players had played in the game last week in Portugalete, so their absence in the starting lineup and in any substitution was notable. The game ended with a score of 0-11 in favor of Athletic, with forward Hierro scoring the two last goals of the game.
Why does this matter for Athletic Bilbao?
Edin Terzic's decision not to count on Galarreta and Prados has generated some controversy among fans, who are looking to know what will happen with the two players in the regular season. With Oihan Sancet, Mikel Vesga and Unai Gómez also in the mix, Prados' situation is particularly interesting.
What comes next?
Athletic Bilbao's next pre-season games will clarify if Galarreta and Prados will be reintegrated into Terzic's plans or if there will be more movement in the team.
