Sancet returns to Athletic squad; Vizcay among selections

Sancet returns to the squad after missing four matches with an injury sustained on October 8; Vizcay remains the only academy player included.

Athletic Club manager Edin Terzic has named 23 players for tonight's San Mamés derby against Real Sociedad, which kicks off at 9 p.m. The main news is the return of Oihan Sancet, the playmaker who has been sidelined since October 8 with an injury that forced him to miss four matches: Valencia, Levante and Getafe in the league, plus AE Prat in the Copa del Rey.

Txus Vizcay remains the only academy player in the squad. Laporte, Yuri and Canales return to availability. The only injury absences are Galarreta and Guruzeta, while Djaló is also unavailable after returning from Guinea-Bissau with a virus and lacking training rhythm.
