Laporte and Nico absent as Athletic return to training

Laporte missed training due to illness; Nico Williams remains sidelined with a quadriceps injury suffered on international duty.

Athletic Club returned to training on Tuesday following the suspended match against Rayo Vallecano. Centre-back Laporte did not travel to Vallecas due to illness and missed the first session back, while winger Nico Williams continues his absence after suffering a quadriceps injury during the recent international window. Manager Terziz had hoped to have Williams available this week, but his return for the upcoming Valencia match remains uncertain. Defender Sancet is also working separately with a calf injury.
