zbet911 Athletic Bilbao goalkeeper Unai Simon has confirmed he is available for Sunday’s Basque derby. zbet911
The 27-year-old goalkeeper underwent surgery on a wrist injury that ruled Simon out of action for four months at Athletic Bilbao, but has now returned to training.
Simon recently gave an interview to Spanish media, confirming that he is open to being an option, and that everything depends on the decision of head coach Ernesto Valverde.
“We have completed the four-month treatment process, although in reality it needs further evaluation, but now I am training with the team, I am doing more than before and the call-up depends on Ernesto’s decision.”
Julen Akirrezabala and Alex Padilla have been in goal during Simon’s absence, with the latter consistently performing well.
As Simon said, the decision lies with the head coach, who still has time to prepare and assess before deciding whether to use the Spanish international in the game against Bahraini rivals Real Sociedad. ( zbet911 )
