The goalkeeper suffers a 'muscular injury in the right brachial biceps', according to the Athletic medical team. Remiro points to start for the August 20 match against Leganes.

 

Iago Herrerín suffers a muscular injury in the right arm, a setback that makes him serious doubt for the league debut of Athletic on August 20 against Leganés in San Mamés.

The "muscular injury" of Herrerín, who was injured in a goal kick during training on Thursday, is located "in the right brachial biceps," according to Athletic. The Bilbao club did not establish recovery periods and pointed out that the Bilbao goalkeeper "will be given complementary tests" to establish the scope of a mishap which, for now, is "pending evolution."

Iago's injury further complicates the situation in the goal for Athletic, who already lost in the last hours to their starting goal, Kepa Arrizabalaga, for whom Chelsea paid the 80 million euros of its clause of rescission.

Herrerín was the Athletic goalkeeper in Cup competitions in recent seasons and was aiming to start with the departure of Kepa, but now, being doubt more than serious facing the league debut, who aims to be between clubs that day is Alex Remiro.

Remiro, 23, is another promising goal from Lezama, on his international Under-21 day, which last season was one of the best Second Division goalkeepers and promoted to First with Huesca in the starting lineup. In principle, the Navarre was the goal that seemed to go to another team to have continued Kepa, but now is a candidate until the ownership in the rojiblanco set. To replace the absence of Herrerín, the new coach of Athletic, Eduardo Berizzo, called during the session on Thursday the goalkeeper of the subsidiary Hodei Oleaga, which was expected this year with the role of third goalkeeper of the first team.

However, Athletic has another promising goal that has been headline in some of the last matches of the Spanish Under-21 team, Unai Simón, which was ceded to Elche during this preseason.

In the session of this Thursday, Iñigo Martínez has worked apart from the rest of the staff in the recovery process that leads to overcome the muscle injury suffered at the beginning of the season. And also Aritz Aduriz, without apparent discomfort, has done the first part of the training and then left the job he was doing with his teammates
