Bad news also hit Athletic Club, where, finally, Yeray Álvarez was given a 10-month ban, starting in April 2026, until he returns to European action. The UEFA committee imposed the ban after he was found guilty of using a prohibited substance during a match against Manchester United in the UEFA Europa League.
Now, Athletic Club will be without the 30-year-old center-back for at least the next 10 months. However, he has rarely been used as a starter, due to the presence of Dani Vivian and Aitor Paredes.
