Impact Berenguer took the field for the full 90 Saturday but was unable to bag a goal contribution, with his best work being a shot, one chance created and seven crosses. He would also earn corner duties, taking six in the loss. After only five goal contributions all of last season, he will look to have a better 2026/27 campaign.

AUGUST 23 • ROTOWIRE

Ready for preseason work Berenguer was spotted in training and appears ready for preseason preparations with Athletic Bilbao, according to the club.

Impact Berenguer looks to have put any fitness concerns behind him after returning to the training pitch ahead of the new campaign.

Sidelined 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.

Impact 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.

MAY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Flurry of service off the bench Alex Berenguer recorded eight crosses (three accurate) and three corners in Sunday's 1-0 defeat to Valencia.

Impact 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.

MAY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Two shots Sunday Berenguer had two shots (zero on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 2-0 defeat to Getafe.

Impact Berenguer took two shots Sunday, his third consecutive match with at least two attempts, but he failed to put either on target. He also recorded four crosses in his sixth straight appearance. It was yet another solid performance from the attacker, but with only five goal contributions through 25 matches this season it's been a fairly quiet season for him.

APRIL 7 • ROTOWIRE

Strong in service Alex Berenguer registered two shots (one on goal), 11 crosses (four accurate) and seven corners in Saturday's 3-0 defeat versus Girona. In addition, he was given a yellow card in t...

Impact The midfielder put in plenty of service opportunities but couldn't connect with a teammate in the loss. However, Berenguer does have a good matchup coming up against Betis to try to get a goal or assist should he keep up this volume. Betis have allowed 34 goals in 27 La Liga games ahead of Sunday's match.

MARCH 14 • ROTOWIRE

Leads match in crosses Berenguer generated nine crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 1-0 defeat against Barcelona.

Impact Berenguer would earn an assist last time out but would not find a goal contribution this week, instead not seeing a single shot in the match while his two chances created amounted to nothing. His high point came with his nine crosses, leading the match. He does see a high amount of crosses, earning double-digits in seven matches this campaign while avergaing nearly seven per match.

MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE

Sets up equalizer Berenguer assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Rayo Vallecano.

FEBRUARY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Finds bench role Berenguer (undisclosed) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Rayo Vallecano.

Impact Berenguer finds a bench role for Saturday's clash against Rayo Vallecano after training fully with the team Thursday while working through physical issues. The forward returns to the squad but is eased back into action as a substitute option. Robert Navarro and Gorka Guruzeta are therefore likely to continue handling significant attacking responsibilities until he returns to full speed.

FEBRUARY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Trains partially Tuesday Berenguer (undisclosed) trained partially with the team Tuesday before going back to individual training on the side, according to Edu Velasco Jr from El Chiringuito.

Impact Berenguer is still battling through his physical issues and couldn't make it through the full team session Tuesday, cutting his workload short after the rondos and heading off for individual work on the side. There's still no clear timetable for his return, as he continues to ramp back up toward full fitness. In the meantime, his absence opens the door for Robert Navarro and Gorka Guruzeta to take on bigger attacking responsibilities up front for the Basques.

FEBRUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Out Friday Berenguer (undisclosed) won't be an option for Friday's game against Elche, manager Ernesto Valverde told media during his press conference Thursday. "The team is doing well, but w...

Impact Berenguer has missed Athletic's last two games, and he won't be available to return against Elche, either. The winger will aim to return to action against Rayo Vallecano on Saturday, Feb. 28, but for that to happen, he'll need to return to training first, which hasn't happened yet.

FEBRUARY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely against Elche Berenguer (undisclosed) still has to resume team training this week, making him a big doubt for Friday's clash against Elche, according to Edu Velasco Jr from El Chiringuito.

Impact Berenguer is still sidelined with an injury and wasn't seen in team training Wednesday, just two days out from the showdown with Elche. The forward is a major question mark for the matchup and will likely be a true game-time decision if he's able to rejoin the squad in Thursday's session. In the meantime, Robert Navarro and Gorka Guruzeta are in line for expanded roles up top until he's cleared to return.

FEBRUARY 18 • ROTOWIRE

Still not training Friday Berenguer (undisclosed) is still not training Friday and remains a doubt for Sunday's clash against Oviedo, according to Athletic Xtra.

Impact Berenguer sat out the last matchup against Levante with a new injury concern, and the situation looks serious after he was not seen training with the squad Friday. He is still a major question mark for Sunday's showdown with Oviedo, which would be a tough hit for the Basques given his consistent role in the starting attack this season. If Berenguer is sidelined for an extended stretch, Gorka Guruzeta and Unai Gomez are in line for a larger share of minutes moving forward.

FEBRUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out against Levante Berenguer (undisclosed) is ruled out for Sunday's clash against Levante, coach Ernesto Valverde said in the press conference. "No, not available."

Impact Berenguer has been banged up most of the season and the injury issues are not over as he is ruled out for Sunday's clash against Levante. When healthy, he has been a regular starter in the frontline, meaning his absence clears a path for others, with Gorka Guruzeta or Unai Gomez likely in line to see an uptick in playing time with Berenguer sidelined again.

FEBRUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Six crosses in home draw Alex Berenguer registered three shots (one on goal), six crosses (zero accurate) and five corners in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Real Sociedad.

FEBRUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Creative impact in defeat Berenguer recorded three shots (one on goal), 11 crosses (five accurate) and four corners in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Sevilla.

Impact Berenguer had an outstanding performance in terms of playmaking stats, even though he was held off the score sheet against Sevilla. Both the 11 crosses and four chances created tied his season-high totals after 24 games played across league and European competitions. He has enjoyed somewhat consistent playing time despite missing one match due to a toe injury he dealt with last week. Still, he hasn't been able to convert his high creative numbers into assists recently, and has scored two goals over his last eight appearances.

Impact Berenguer recovered in time from his toe injury since he has been included in the squad list for Saturday's clash against Mallorca.

Impact Berenguer has made some light exercises with the ball on Thursday and the evolution of his toe injury in the coming hours will determine wether he will be part of the match squad or not for Saturday's clash against Mallorca. Berenguer has been an undisputed starter in the frontline for the Basques this season and should claim a similar role moving forward if fully fit.
