Muniain was in his memorable week. Against Barcelona, it was possibly the best game of his professional career, a pulse in which he scored a brace and participated in the other goal, a corner kick for Iñigo Martínez. They were 120 minutes of physical waste that required a truce. Now he must forcefully stop, since he has tested positive for COVID-19 in an antigen test. The Athletic captain is in good health and is complying with the isolation health protocol at his home.
Iker, who is crying out for an opportunity with Luis Enrique, will now remain out of football for a week. Only he will miss tomorrow’s game against Rayo Vallecano, an appointment in which he was going to rest safely on the bench after Thursday’s wear and tear. After that, Athletic awaits the cup match against Madrid on Thursday, February 3. In that appointment the merengue club has the problem of the possible casualties of the South Americans Militao, Casemiro, Vinicius, Rodrygo and Valverde due to the commitments of their national teams.
The one who will not be able to play that date is surely Sancet, who will be out for about a month after suffering a distension against the Catalans in the posterolateral capsule of his left knee, which is pending evolution.
