Prados returns as Terzic calls up Monreal and Selton for Athletic

Beñat Prados is back in the Athletic Club squad after overcoming a minor muscular injury that kept him out of the last two matches, according to Mundo Deportivo.

Squad updates

The standout changes to Edin Terzic’s 23-man list are the return of the Navarro midfielder and the call-ups of the youngsters Monreal and Selton for this afternoon’s game at San Mamés against Atlético (16:15).

Terzic also covers absences due to fitness: Vivian is injured, so the coach adjusts the defensive options accordingly. Meanwhile, Peio Canales’ absence is balanced by Selton, and Mundo Deportivo notes that Canales will begin training next week, as his coach confirmed.

Who’s in (and out)

Mundo Deportivo adds that Terzic has left Álvaro Djaló and Nico Serrano out of the matchday squad. In the last few days they have not trained with the group.

The full list is: Unai Simón, Padilla, Paredes, Yeray, Prados, Berenguer, Sancet, Iñaki Williams, Nico Williams, Guruzeta, Areso, Laporte, Hugo Rincón, Ruiz de Galarreta, Yuri, Jauregizar, Rego, Maroan, Robert Navarro, Gerenabarrena, Monreal, Johaneko and Selton.

The Athletic are aiming for continuity after their strong performance in Balaídos, while Atlético arrive on a roll after seven points from nine: wins over Málaga and Sevilla and a draw with Villarreal at the Metropolitano, as Mundo Deportivo reports.
