Context
Yeray, one of the key players in Athletic Club's defense, is expected to play an important role in the upcoming La Liga season. His absence along with other players like Laporte can create great pressure on the team, especially in the context that they need to build a strong and uniform squad.
Why this is important
Athletic Club's pre-season has left many questions about its attacking ability and the absence of key players like Yeray and Paredes. The lack of this force may affect preparations for the upcoming La Liga season, when the team needs to quickly find balance in the squad to compete effectively.

Athletic Club's pre-season has officially ended, bringing more questions than answers for this team. After going through eight matches in the summer, now is the time to draw conclusions, but the reality is that there is still not enough basis to accurately determine the team's performance under the leadership of coach Tersic.
After the matches in Marseille and Bérgamo, there is reason to worry about Athletic's situation. Currently, the team is still missing two of the three players who have won world championships. Yeray and Paredes have taken on central roles in the defense, but Laporte and Vivian, who is injured, are still missing. However, the biggest problem currently is not the defense but the ability to attack.
Nico Williams is still unable to play, while Robert Navarro and Guruzeta are the two players showing the best performance during this period. On the contrary, Iñaki Williams, Berenguer, Maroan and other players have yet to live up to the expectations fans have for them. Canales joining the squad also creates a certain pressure for Sancet, who has not been able to find his best form.
Despite the improvement in the squad thanks to Canales' presence, neither winning nor losing in pre-season seemed to matter. Everything right now is geared towards the first match of the season. Athletic still hasn't had a home match at San Mamés, which is really strange. Meanwhile, Olympique and Atalanta had matches on their fields.
After another summer, Athletic Club continues to prepare for bigger challenges. The real matches don't start until next Saturday, and time for tests is running out. At this point, all attention will be focused on the upcoming official matches, where Athletic will have to show their bravery and strength on the field.
What happens next
Athletic Club will need to fix problems in the squad before entering the La Liga season. The return of players like Laporte and Nico Williams will be crucial to improving attack and defense. The team will aim to find victory in the first match in La Liga to start the season well.
