Back doing ball work
Vivian (groin) has resumed ball work exercises at Lezama, according to Athletic Xtra.
Analysis: Vivian has yet to play a competitive match for Athletic this season, having been previously expected to return to full training in October after the international break, with a potential comeback targeted for the match against Rayo Vallecano on Oct. 11. This latest step marks encouraging progress in his recovery, with Aymeric Laporte and Aitor Paredes continuing to hold down central defense in the meantime as far as Yeray Alvarez (concussion) remains out.
Targeting October return
Vivian (groin) is expected to return to full training in October after the international break, according to Aitor Celaya of Bilbao Hiria.
Analysis: Vivian has yet to play a competitive match for Athletic this season after not being able to recover from a preseason injury, but the center-back has a return date and is expected back in training after the international break. Assuming his recovery process goes without any setbacks, Vivian could return against Rayo Vallecano on Oct. 11. Aymeric Laporte and Aitor Paredes should continue to play at center-back as long as Vivian and Yeray Alvarez (concussion) remain sidelined.
