Forced off with injury
de Galarreta (knock) was forced off in the 18th minute of Sunday's La Liga clash against Getafe after picking up a knock.
Analysis: de Galarreta suffered an early injury setback against Getafe, lasting just 18 minutes before being replaced by Gerenabarrena. The midfielder has been a key figure in Athletic Bilbao's starting lineup this season, recording one assist across nine La Liga appearances, including eight starts. His early departure represents a significant concern given his established role in midfield, although the nature and severity of the injury remain unclear. His availability for upcoming fixtures will depend on further assessment.
Starting regularly in midfield
Ruiz de Galarreta has started in five of his six 2026/27 LaLiga appearances for Athletic Club.
Analysis: Ruiz de Galarreta opened the season on the bench but has started in his other five appearances, providing balance and a steady presence in the middle of the park. Ruiz de Galarreta has one assist, six chances created and five interceptions this season, but as a holding midfielder, it's not surprising to see his fantasy stock being very low despite his regular starting role.
