Levante vs Athletic: they resume the match postponed since September

Levante and Athletic play tonight a match from Matchday 6 that was postponed back in September due to rain. Since that stoppage, neither side has won, so the points carry weight for both projects.

For Levante, coach Luís Castro has a possible option in Etta Yong, who has been injured for more than a month but is already training normally. The absences for the trip to the rojiblancos are Hugo Sotelo (recovering from injury) and Álex Primo, who returned to training this past Tuesday with the rest of the group. As MARCA notes, the Granotas need to be strong at home after five straight winless games.

Key injuries and matchups

Athletic arrive shaken by the serious injury suffered by Guruzeta last Saturday at Mestalla: the striker is ruled out for the entire season after rupturing his cruciate ligament. Nico has resumed training but is not yet ready for heavy minutes, and Terzic’s squad also includes players from the reserve team.

The midfield battle could revolve around Olasasgasti versus Gerenabarrena: the Levante midfielder is described as a key “do-it-all” in their engine room, while Gerenabarrena, a newcomer to both club and division, was substituted at halftime in Mestalla and has started the campaign at a higher level than his teammates.
