Álex Berenguer
ATHSidelined due to muscle issue
Berenguer will miss the 2025/26 season finale against Real Madrid after suffering a right adductor muscle strain, his team reported Friday.
Analysis: Berenguer's campaign is over due to this injury, and the team will have to look for a replacement between Robert Navarro and Nico Serrano. Despite his active participation in both league and UCL competitions, the last year was one of Berenguer's least impressive periods in terms of direct contributions, as he ended with two goals and four assists in 37 matches played (29 starts). The set-piece specialist will work on his recovery and aim to bounce back after a lengthy rest due to the World Cup.
Flurry of service off the bench
Alex Berenguer recorded eight crosses (three accurate) and three corners in Sunday's 1-0 defeat to Valencia.
Analysis: The attacker tried to provide a spark late in the match to give Athletic a boost as it goes for a Europe spot for next season but couldn't connect with a teammate. Alex Berenguer could have success if he continues to cross like this against Espanyol regardless of his role, as the side has allowed 53 goals in La Liga through 35 matches.
