Athletic will look for his fourth Supercup in Saudi Arabia without Yuri and Laporte
Wednesday will be the twelfth game of the red-whites in that tournament. In addition, Valverde has a chance to win his third Supercup, a match with coaches Cruyff and Guardiola.
Athletic will seek the fourth Spanish Supercup in its eighth participation. The tournament celebrates its 42nd edition. It starts on Wednesday in Saudi Arabia with the semi-final between the red-white team and FC Barcelona.
Wednesday will be the twelfth match of the red-whites in the tournament, nine of them against Barcelona, two against Real Madrid and one against Atlético de Madrid.
On the other hand, Athletic coach Ernesto Valverde has a chance to win his third Supercup, a match with coaches Johan Cruyff and Pep Guardiola .
Valverde won the Supercup with Athletic in 2015 after defeating Barcelona, the Catalan ensemble that year led by Luis Enrique, and in 2018 with Barcelona itself, after winning 2-1 to Seville in the only match played in Tangier.
Aymeric Laporte and Yuri Berchich are still injured and have not travelled to Saudi Arabia this Monday. Valverde has taken 25 players: Unai Simón; Amitchell, Vivian, Paredes, Adama; Jauregizar, Galarreta; Iñaki Williams, Sancet, Nico Williams; Guruzeta, Padilla, Santos; Gorosabel, Monreal, Lekue; Vesga, Rego, Rego, Selton, Unai, Gomez
The red-white team held their last working session in Lezama on Monday. Athletic will stay at the Hyatt Jeddah Hotel in Yeda, the city where the tournament is played.
