Raúl García is not ruling out, for the moment, ahead of next Sunday’s match at the Sánchez Pizjuán against Sevilla. The veteran Navarrese footballer, who last Sunday requested the change in the first stages of the match against Osasuna due to a muscle problem, did not go out to train yesterday with the rest of his teammates, but later, in the press room, he fanned the flame of hope in the face of being able to recover to face Lopetegui’s men.
“We are working for it, to have options to play. I am always optimistic and trust that I can get there. Now it’s time to put in the hours, as I always say, to increase the possibilities, ”said Raúl García himself about his current situation.
The Navarrese is aware of the importance that the Pizjuán clash has for Athletic. “The deadline that I set for myself at the moment is the game on Sunday. I work to be. In the end, obviously I am clear that it is an important game, so I have to try to get there to give the coach options and then let him decide. I am working to have options”, recognized this veteran lion.

Raúl García confessed that he has been having problems with his right leg for some time. “I wasn’t thinking about the next game, although I had been living with discomfort for ten days, knowing that when you have that you have the risk of something more serious happening. You never have to think individually, but now less. We are playing a lot, every game counts. You have to try to be the best you can be. When you have the injury, you have to try not to be too much, ”he argued.

The Navarrese, despite everything, did not go out to train yesterday with the rest of his teammates. Nor did Nico Williams, who also had to be replaced due to a muscle problem, but in his case his absence in Seville is taken for granted. Yeray, on the other hand, did appear on the Lezama lawn.
The medical report issued by the Bilbao club last Monday regarding the condition of the two players who had to be substituted before the break stated that Raúl García “suffers an injury to the hamstring muscles in his right leg” and Sancet “also suffers from an injury of the hamstring muscles, in this case in the left leg”. Raúl García acknowledges that he is working to arrive on time. He will have to wait for events.
