Athletic Club has faced several player injuries throughout September 2026. Initially, striker Gorka Guruzeta was ruled out of a match against Elche due to a moderate muscle injury in his right hamstring. He joined Dani Vivian and Peio Canales on the injury list, with the latter recovering from a left soleus injury. By the time of the Basque derby against Deportivo Alavés, Peio Canales returned to the squad. However, the team continued to deal with absences in the attacking line, as Guruzeta remained unavailable due to hamstring discomfort, and both Vivian and Egiluz were still sidelined. For the derby at San Mamés, manager Edin Terzic utilized a 4-2-3-1 formation. While Peio Canales returned to the squad following his soleus injury, Gorka Guruzeta remained absent due to his ongoing hamstring discomfort. The lineup featured Iñaki Williams leading the attack, with Johaneko starting at right-back and Mikel Jauregizar playing in a double pivot alongside Ruiz de Galarreta. The derby ended in a 0-0 draw. The match highlighted tactical challenges for Terzic regarding the right-back position, which has seen three different players used in six matches. Johaneko started in the role but was substituted at halftime for Jesús Areso. As the club prepares for upcoming fixtures, management continues to handle squad rotations and injuries, with Peio Canales back in the squad but Gorka Guruzeta still sidelined.
