Unai Vencedor - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Role disappears Vencedor made 10 appearances (no starts) in La Liga during the 2022-23 season.

Impact Vencedor's role entirely disappeared during the season, as he failed to make a single start and managed only 183 minutes total. The midfielder sits at the bottom of the depth chart and isn't likely to make any in-roads on a bigger role in the first team moving forward.

Named to traveling squad Vencedor (knee) was included in the 22-man squad ahead of Thursday's clash with Osasuna.

Impact Vencedor was also called up for Saturday's matchup with Celta Vigo but failed to get onto the pitch. Considering the midfielder has been an unused substitute 25 times this season, it shouldn't come as a surprise to see him not getting any minutes.

Could return at weekend Vencedor (knee) was called up by Bilbao for Saturday's clash against Celta Vigo.

Impact Vencedor missed last weekend's loss to Villarreal with a knee injury, but he should be back in the squad to take on Celta on Saturday. Even when fit, he only has three league appearances off the bench in 2023.

Out with knee injury Vencedor will miss Saturday's clash against Villarreal due to a knee injury, Athletic Club announced Friday.

Impact Vencedor's usage has fallen off a cliff this season, as he went from starting 29 La Liga matches in 2021/22 to making just nine appearances all off the bench in this campaign. The midfielder will not be available for selection to face Villarreal this weekend.

Logs 21 minutes off bench Vencedor logged 21 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 1-0 win over Villarreal.

Impact Vencedor has come off the bench in two straight games as it's starting to look like he's found his role under manager Ernesto Valverde. While that's unfortunately not as a starter, Vencedor's progress shouldn't be as stunted as it was looking when he rode the bench for much of September and October.

Riding bench Vencedor was left on the bench during Sunday's 4-1 win over Elche.

Impact Vencedor has made two appearances off the bench from five matches to open the season after starting in 29 of his 34 appearances over the 21/22 campaign. With his role drastically reduced under manager Ernesto Valverde, Vencedor needs to be careful that he doesn't regress as a player while fighting for his place in the lineup.

SEPTEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Extends contract with Bilbao Vencedor has signed a five-year contract extension with Athletic Bilbao, the club announced Friday.

Impact Vencedor has already played 69 matches with Athletic's senior team in his career, including 27 La Liga starts in midfield this season. The 21-year-old has signed on with the club through the 2026/27 campaign.

MAY 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Subs on in win Vencedor logged 28 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 4-0 win over Real Sociedad.

Impact Vencedor missed three matches and two in the Copa del Rey due to a hamstring issue that's now been overcome. With Mikel Vesga leaving early in Sunday's match, Vencedor could be back in the lineup by Sunday's trip to Barcelona.

FEBRUARY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Returns Sunday Vencedor (hamstring) is on the bench for Sunday's clash with Real Betis.

Impact Vencedor is on the bench as expected after he made a full return to training in the week. The midfielder should be a solid fantasy option once he has made a full return to the starting Xi. Dani Garcia and Mikel Vesga remain in the starting XI.

FEBRUARY 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to training Vencedor (hamstring) returned to training during Friday's session.

Impact Vencedor may have just enough time to return in time for Sunday's derby against Real Sociedad, though his chances of starting may be low until closer to kickoff. The combination of Dani Garcia and Mikel Vesga has performed well enough but Vencedor was also in good form and should be considered a better option when healthy. As a result, his return may be more likely in the Feb. 27 trip to Barcelona or the Copa del Rey match against Valencia in early March.

FEBRUARY 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Still out Monday Vencedor (hamstring) will not be available versus Mallorca on Monday.

Impact Vencendor will be out of action for his third consecutive match due to his lingering hamstring problem. Once cleared to play, the midfielder should be a near-lock to reclaim his place in the starting XI, though his limited offensive upside will prevent him from producing more than mid-range fantasy value.

FEBRUARY 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Unavailable against Espnayol Vencedor (hamstring) will miss out versus Espanyol on Monday.

Impact Vencedor has yet to put an effort on target despite registering 15 shots this season, though he's not exactly an offensive powerhouse considering he hasn't scored a goal in 49 La Liga appearances. As such, the midfielder shouldn't be expected to offer more than mid-range fantasy value even once cleared to return.

FEBRUARY 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Injury confirmed after match Vencedor suffered a left hamstring injury during Sunday's scoreless draw with Deportivo Alaves, according to his club.

Impact Vencedor is sure to miss the Super Cup festivities in Saudi Arabia over the next week and it's unclear how much longer he'll be out after that. Following his exit in the fourth minute of the match, Oier Zarraga took his place on the pitch and could slot into the lineup until Vencedor is back.

JANUARY 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Leaves early against Alaves Vencedor was replaced by Oier Zarraga in the fourth minute of Sunday's match against Deportivo Alaves with a potential leg injury.

Impact Vencedor looked distraught on the bench after picking up a knock in the driving rain, so there's a chance he's picked up a serious knee or muscular issue. Given Vencedor's role in Athletic's recent successes, his absence could be more detrimental to the team than to his own limited value with no assists in 21 appearances this season. With the Super Cup in Saudi Arabia coming next week, there should be plenty of news on his status by the next league matches. The aforementioned Oier Zarraga or Mikel Vesga are capable of taking his place in the lineup.

JANUARY 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Creates one chance in loss Vencedor created one chance from two crosses and conceded a yellow card during Wednesday's 2-1 loss to Real Madrid.

Impact Vencedor has looked impressive in the midfield over the last couple of matches, though he has conceded two yellow cards in his last three starts. Be careful when his name pops up due to his good form, as his fantasy production is a little less consistent when Iker Muniain finds his creative stride.

DECEMBER 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Strikes post in loss Vencedor took two shots (zero on goal) and conceded a yellow card during Saturday's 1-0 loss to Sevilla.

Impact Vencedor wasn't as productive as in the previous round against Getafe but he still made his presence felt by striking the post in the first half. Should he keep up his decent play, up next is a visit from Betis, which have conceded the third-most crosses to midfielders in La Liga.

Logs eight crosses in draw Vencedor created one chance from eight crosses (one accurate) and put one shot off target during Monday's scoreless draw with Getafe.

Impact Vencedor also made four interceptions during the match. His reputation as a defensive player could be changing based on recent performances as he's logged 13 crosses and four shots over his last three starts. It will be interesting to see if he keeps up the pace against Sevilla, which are tied for the fifth-most shots conceded to midfielders in the league.
