Athletic Club star ruled out until 2025 | OneFootball

La Liga outfit Athletic Club have on Monday announced a blow in the club’s first-team ranks.

This comes amid confirmation that veteran midfielder Ander Herrera is set for an incoming spell on the sidelines.

Herrera, for his part, has played a bit-part role in the Basque Country over the early months of the new campaign, managing a total of 13 appearances, albeit only two of which came in the form of starts.

Nevertheless, the former Manchester United man remains a trusted option on the part of boss Ernesto Valverde, as well as being an important voice in the dressing room.

In turn, it will come as a blow for Los Leones to learn that Herrera is primed for a fresh spell out of action over the weeks ahead.

As per a statement across Athletic’s website and social media platforms:

‘Ander Herrera has suffered a moderate muscle injury in his right hamstring and is now awaiting further treatment.’

Marca point towards an impending spell of around a month on the treatment table for Herrera.
