Oihan Sancet Injury: Suffers hamstring injury

Sancet scored one goal before being forced off in the 50th minute of Wednesday's 3-2 loss against Sporting CP due to a hamstring injury that makes him a doubt for Sunday's derby against Real Sociedad, coach Ernesto Valverde confirmed in a press conference, according to Unai Valverde from Mundo Deportivo. "I don't know exactly what it feels like. I asked him, and he said he felt something. I hope it's nothing serious."

Sancet has struggled to keep himself fit over the past several seasons with Athletic Club and suffered another injury in Wednesday's defeat against Sporting CP. The playmaker scored a goal before leaving the pitch in the 50th minute due to a hamstring injury, which makes him a major doubt for Sunday's derby against Real Sociedad. This is a blow for Bilbao since Sancet is an undisputed starter in the frontline when fit, and if he has to miss the game, a change will need to be made in the starting XI, with Robert Navarro likely to take a starting role in attacking midfield and Alex Berenguer expected to play on the right wing.
