Rincón: hope for the future for Athletic at a key moment

Uncertainty surrounds Yuri Berchiche's participation in the next meeting of the Athletic Club in the Metropolitan. As the week progresses, the possibility that Yuri Berchiche participates in the crucial match Saturday against Atlético de Madrid becomes more uncertain. The player has not been able to start the training session along with the rest of his teammates in Lezama, due to persistent discomfort in his right ankle.

These were caused by a strong tackle by Bruno Méndez during the last match against Granada in San Mamés. This situation puts the team in a delicate position, especially considering the confirmed absence of Óscar de Marcos due to suspension, which reduces the options on the sides for coach Ernesto Valverde.

With the loss of De Marcos and the doubt about Yuri, Valverde has had to look for alternative solutions to reinforce the defense. In this context, Hugo Rincón, who recently celebrated promotion to the Primera RFEF with Bilbao Athletic, is emerging as a viable option. The young right-back has been included in the first team's training sessions and could be part of the squad for the confrontation in Madrid. His presence not only brings freshness to the team, but also hope and renewed energy at a critical moment in the season.

This match is not just a duel for points in the league, but a direct confrontation for a place in European competitions, which adds extra weight to every tactical decision and every movement on the field.
