Yuri Berchiche - Takes two shots in draw Berchiche made two blocks, an interception and four clearances in Sunday's 0-0 draw against Rayo Vallecano. He also took two shots in the match.

Impact Berchiche was active on both sides of the ball on Sunday but had to settle for a scoreless draw with Rayo. He has started 12 of Athletic's last 14 La Liga games at left-back since recovering from an achilles injury in October.

Julen Agirrezabala - Keeps clean sheet against Rayo Agirrezabala made two saves and kept a clean sheet in Sunday's 0-0 draw against Rayo Vallecano.

Impact Agirrezabala kept the second clean sheet of his La Liga career on Sunday, with the previous one coming in his competition debut back in August 2021. If Unai Simon (strain) is still injured then Agirrezabala will remain the starter for next weekend's clash against league leaders Barcelona, which have scored 46 goals in 24 matches this season.

Impact Sancet was having a decent game in attack on Sunday, but he will now be suspended at least for next weekend's clash against Barcelona following his late sending off, and possibly for longer if La Liga deems it fit. Iker Muniain could replace him in attacking midfield, or Gorka Guruzeta could slide into the XI in his place up front.
