La Liga: Spanish Top Flight Returns With Big Game In Bernabeu
Jose Ramon Sandoval: La Liga returns to action in Spain following the international break with a round of games that comes a week before another break for the final of the Copa del Rey. La Liga leaders Real Madrid face cup finalists Athletic Bilbao in the Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday night, with Vinicius Jr out through suspension and Eduardo Camavinga likely to miss out after suffering an ankle injury while playing for France.
Eder Militao could return after tearing his cruciate knee ligament in Bilbao during the first match of the season, but Thibaut Courtois won't return after needing another operation after damaging his meniscus ligament, reports Xinhua.
Bilbao coach Ernesto Valverde has a balancing act, with his side currently fourth in the table and looking to qualify for next season's Champions League. Valverde has to decide whether to risk key players such as Nico and Inaki Williams six days from the Cup final or give some game time to reserve keeper Julen Agirrezabala, who will play in the final.
