Atlético de Madrid travel to Lezama on Sunday to face Athletic Club without Jenni Hermoso. Kick-off is scheduled for 12:00 and the match will be broadcast on DAZN.
Seventh with just seven points, Atlético need to keep collecting points against teams within their reach. That position is also explained by a particularly demanding start to the season, which has already included trips to Real Madrid and Barcelona.
So far, the Madrid side have suffered two defeats against Real Madrid and Barça, but secured two wins over Alavés and Logroño. They must now try to beat an Athletic side described as being at their level.
Jenni Hermoso’s absence is a significant blow. She arrived this summer for her third spell in Atlético colours, having been developed at the club and having previously had a brief stint there after leaving, during which she made her mark.
The match will also carry an emotional element for Atlético: Víctor Martín will be on the opposite bench. He began last season in charge of the Madrid team before leaving his post because of poor results.
