Athletic Club will be without the services of five players for their return to action post-international break.
As much was confirmed by way of the Basque club’s squad announcement on Friday.
Athletic are primed to kick their campaign back into gear on Saturday, in a La Liga meeting with Deportivo Aláves.
Ernesto Valverde’s troops head into the fixture fresh off a fine start to the term, as one of just two sides still boasting a perfect record.
As alluded to above, though, in efforts to maintain their flawless start tomorrow, Athletic will be forced to make do without a quintet of players.
Ernesto Valverde’s squad for the Sam Mamés clash was announced on Friday.
And nowhere to be seen were any of Nico Williams, Beñat Prados, Iñigo Lekue, Alex Padilla or summer signing Aymeric Laporte.
