Uriarte and Mikel González speak at San Mamés on Thursday

Jon Uriarte and Mikel González will address the media at San Mamés this Thursday, Mundo Deportivo reports. They were originally due to appear the day before to deliver the usual balance of the season so far, but the event was postponed due to the president’s eye problem.

A review with market focus

As Mundo Deportivo explains, the press conference will take place tomorrow from 12.30 in Bilbao, after the club said Uriarte had shown improvement in recent hours.

The meeting is expected to cover what happened during the transfer window and also the situation of Athletic’s two top sides: the men’s and the women’s teams. As is common with these appearances, other issues could come up too, not only the sports and squad-related items.

The row over invitations

Mundo Deportivo also points to one matter that is likely to take center stage: the controversy after the club reportedly withdrew invitations from various rojiblanco supporter groups. The players, per the newspaper, suggested that what was happening went “deeper than that”, so it is expected that the executives will respond to questions around it.

For fans, the takeaway will be whether Uriarte and Mikel González clarify that episode and how they frame both the transfer window and the performance outlook for the two first teams.
