Sancet (calf) is expected to miss multiple matches after suffering a muscle injury in his left calf, with no clear timetable for his return, according to coach Edin Terzic. "With Oihan Sancet, every injury has its own individual story. Perhaps you saw him on Tuesday during the open training session. He completed almost the entire session. Then he felt something in his calf. We carried out further tests on Wednesday and Thursday as well. He has a muscle injury. We believe his recovery will take some time. It's not the right time to talk about days or weeks. We hope he won't be out for too long because he's also a very important player for the team. He's played a lot since the beginning of the season. That's the situation with Oihan."
Analysis:Sancet suffered a setback during Tuesday's training session, with subsequent tests revealing a moderate muscle injury to the soleus of his left calf. Terzic's comments suggest the attacking midfielder could miss several upcoming fixtures, although his recovery timeline remains uncertain and will depend on how the injury progresses. Sancet has featured in all seven La Liga matches this season, recording one goal, nine chances created and six shots on target while operating primarily as a No. 10. His absence represents a significant blow to Athletic's creativity in the final third, with Ruiz de Galarreta potentially moving into a more advanced midfield role to help compensate for his absence.
