Still sidelined
Sancet (hamstring) will face another absence after being excluded from the squad for Sunday's match against Celta Vigo.
Analysis: Sancet has yet to fully recover from a muscle issue he picked up in early May, and his last chance to play would come in the season finale against Real Madrid if he makes progress in the coming week. The injury-prone midfielder failed to find consistency in his performance during the 2025/26 period, and he scored four goals over 17 league or UCL games in the first half of the calendar year. Alex Berenguer and Nico Serrano should continue to benefit with increased playing time in his place.
Out against Espanyol
Sancet (undisclosed) will miss Wednesday's clash against Espanyol, with the club opting for caution while awaiting the full results of his MRI, according to Edu Velasco Jr of El Chiringuito.
Analysis: Sancet sought to downplay concerns upon arriving for his scan, but Athletic Club preferred not to rush him back before having a clearer picture of his condition. The absence of the Navarrese midfielder is a notable blow for coach Ernesto Valverde, who loses a key creative presence in the attack. Alex Berenguer is expected to step in for the Wednesday fixture, with the full extent of the injury to be confirmed once the MRI results are available.
