Two problems affected the 25-26 season that ended on the 23rd with defeat at the Bernabéu. The large number of injuries and the low form of important football players have been determining factors. Physical injuries can have a bad luck component, although some, such as muscle injuries, can be prevented. However, what depends on the most influential players is to recover the level that has been noted to be lacking in a difficult season in the League. Edin Terzic's good work in his first year in charge of San Mamés will largely depend on this. The entire functioning of the team collapses if its most decisive players are missing, either due to injury or because they are not at their best. This is what happened with Athletic. Nico Williams has played very limited due to pubalgia that comes from the end of the previous season, while his brother and Sancet have been below par for players of their potential. Berenguer was also unable to reach the level of previous seasons, due to an injury to the first toe with which he kicks. The Rojiblanco club cannot, in turn, sign quality players in the winter market to make up for injury absences. The German coach's main challenge is to recover these players so that the team can evolve compared to what was presented last season. The squad is of quality and the players demonstrated in the 24-25 campaign that they have the ability. It's in your hands.
