Real Sociedad and Athletic play their 10th Euskal Herria Txapela this Friday

The Royal Society will receive the Athletic Club in Anoeta this Friday in the final of the Euskal Herria Txapela, which is played by the two teams from the first division of Hego Euskal Herria who won the most points in their encounters last season. Both teams will not be able to use 14 international players. The match will be broadcast live on ETB1 and eitbkirolak.eus.

This tournament meets its tenth edition and is heldatthe Anoeta stadium (19:00), which gives the Donostiarra team a certain favoritism just by playing at home.

Mikel Oyarzabal (Spain), Jon Martin (Under-21), Luka Sucic (Croatia), Orri Oskarsson (Iceland), Mamadou Sarr (Senegal), Job Ochieng (Kenya), Mikel Aramburu and Yangel Herrera (Venezuela) and Take Kubo (Japan) will not be in the match.

On the other hand, Athletic Club coach Edin Terzic has all his players available except the five internationals: Unai Simon, Aymeric Laporte and Nico Williams, concentrated with Spain; Alex Padilla, with Mexico; and Alvaro Djalo, who has not yet returned to Bilbao after playing with Guinea-Bissau and scoring a goal.

With Dani Vivian recovered from the injury that prevented him from opening this season and Gorka Guruzeta working normally with the team after missing the last two encounters, the German technician has 20 players from the first team who have not participated in this FIFA window.

To cover the absences of Simon and Padilla, Terzic has summoned the two Bilbao Athletic goalkeepers, Mikel Santos and Simon Garcia.

The Blue White team has won this trophy only once (2020) and has been a five-time finalist, while Osasuna and Athletic have won it three times .
