Athletic Bilbao started its preseason with an unexpected medical report. Gorosabel suffered a moderate muscle injury in the adductor longus of the right leg.
What happened?
The Athletic's right-back suffered the injury during the medical and physical tests on the first day of preseason in Lezama.
Why is it important?
Gorosabel's injury is a problem for Athletic Bilbao, as he is one of the right-backs with the most playing time in the previous season.
What comes next?
Areso and Hugo Rincón may have more opportunities to play in the right-back position while Gorosabel recovers from his injury. Coach Terzic will have to make important decisions about the team's lineup in the coming days.
Athletic Bilbao will complete its first training session on the field on Wednesday under the orders of Terzic. Gorosabel's injury is a setback for the team, but it's also an opportunity for other players to prove their worth.
