Terzic has Djaló and Nico Serrano available after days out
The Athletic coach is counting on Álvaro Djaló and Nico Serrano again after both missed training, with the transfer window shut.
The transfer market closed on Tuesday without any new signings, as reported by Mundo Deportivo. The bigger movement came from the exits: Andoni Gorosabel was loaned to Espanyol, Adama Boiro was ceded to West Ham United, and Unai Vencedor joined Burgos after terminating his contract. With all that, Edin Terzic is set to work with 25 players—excluding Egiluz, who is sidelined for the long term.
Market is shut, squad in place
Attention in the training pictures has been on Álvaro Djaló and Nico Serrano, who did not train with the group in recent days. Mundo Deportivo notes that Djaló’s absence was due to illness, while Serrano also stayed away from sessions. The key update is that Terzic expects both to be back with the team after the current weekend.
Terzic’s message on opportunity
Terzic framed the situation in a player-first way: “All the players who have been with us from day one knew their role and our expectations. I’m happy for the players who have found good opportunities to improve their personal situation.” He also reiterated how the club handles chances: “The door is always open to good performances regardless of age, the history of the player, or the price paid for his signing. Everyone is invited to perform well and help us win matches.”
Mundo Deportivo also includes Terzic’s comment on Atlético: “There is no team in the world that is invincible.” With Djaló and Serrano back in the group mix, the next question is how quickly they return to match rhythm after these missed training days.
