Athletic's Mikel Balenziaga: Will not play versus Malaga
Balenziaga will not play in Sunday's match versus Malaga because of a thigh injury, Marca reports.
Analysis:
Balenziaga was considered questionable to play throughout the week, but it appears he did not progress quickly enough, as he did not travel with the squad. Considering that he was not ruled out well in advance of the fixture, he should have an opportunity to return next Sunday against Real Sociedad.
