Impact Jauregizar sat out the last matchup against Elche with a knee injury, but he took a step forward Wednesday by returning to partial team training, a clear sign of progress compared to last week. The midfielder is now pushing to rejoin full sessions before the week wraps up, giving himself a shot to be in the mix for Saturday's clash against Rayo Vallecano.

However, after some testing following the match, it appears he has avoided anything serious, prompting a quicker return. With the club facing Elche on Friday, he will need to train this week and make a quick turnaround to be an option, possibly still missing time.

Available after ban Jauregizar may feature again after serving his yellow card accumulation ban in Champions League play.

Impact Jauregizar's return gives the Bilbao side a defensive boost considering that he has been a regular participant in the holding midfield zone. While he can't be trusted to score often, he has tallied one goal and two assists across 28 games played this season and is averaging 5.2 balls recovered and 2.1 tackles per contest in league play. Alejandro Rego will likely return to a substitute role with Jauregizar back in action.

Set for suspension Jauregizar will serve a one-match ban due to an accumulation of three yellow cards in the Champions League.

Impact Jauregizar accumulated three yellow cards in the Champions League and will be suspended for the last league phase game against Sportin CP on Wednesday. His absence will impact the starting squad since he has been an undisputed starter in the midfield for the Basques, with Mikel Vesga as the main option to replace him for that game.

Getafe stunned by second-tier Burgos in Copa del Rey, Athletic and Real Betis advance

Getafe has become the latest top-division club to be eliminated in the round of 32 of the Copa del Rey after losing 3-1 to second-tier team Burgos

DECEMBER 18, 2025 • Associated Press

Sets up two goals Jauregizar assisted twice to go with five crosses (two accurate) and four corners in Wednesday's 3-1 victory against Qarabag.

Impact Jauregizar set up Gorka Guruzeta in the 40th minute and then again in the 88th minute. Jauregizar created four chances, won seven duels and made five tackles and an interception. This was his first Champions League goal contribution.

Finally scores goal Jauregizar scored one goal during Athletic's 1-1 draw Tuesday against Girona.

Impact Post-extension, Athletic's team logged seven games, six La Liga. During each of the first six, he did not score. But on their seventh, Tuesday against Girona, Jauregizar finally recorded a goal. Even though he scored one then, his history indicates that him frequently scoring is unlikely. For the 2024-25 La Liga, Jauregizar's 34 appearances (25 starts) barely feature multiple goals, two. The league's 2023-24 season, during which he logged seven appearances, also includes his goalless appearances.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Signs contract extension until 2031 Jauregizar has signed a contract extension with Athletic Club until 2031, the club announced.

Impact Jauregizar made his first-team debut in December 2023 in a Copa del Rey match against Cayon and has been a regular part of preseason and training dynamics with the senior squad. During the 2024-25 season, he made 44 appearances across all competitions, contributing to three goals and one assist. He will discover the Champions League next season with Bilbao and will likely be a regular starter again.

MAY 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Starts regularly in midfield Jauregizar recorded two goals and one assist while starting in 25 of his 34 league appearances in 2024/25.

Impact Jauregizar was one of the most consistent starters for Athletic Club throughout the campaign, and he failed to appear in only four of the team's 38 league matches. He didn't provide a lot of value as a fantasy asset due to the nature of his defensive-minded role in midfield, but he regularly operated as the primary link between defense and midfield. Even if Athletic Club bolster their depth in midfield in the 2025/26 campaign, Jauregizar should remain a regular for Athletic due to his tactical versatility and ability to play different roles in midfield.

Impact Jauregizar gave Bilbao an early lead with a remarkable long-range strike in the 31st minute. His goal briefly reignited hopes of a comeback after the first leg but the team couldn't maintain the momentum. Jauregizar's performance was a highlight in an otherwise disappointing night for the visitors. He will now focus on the league as they aim to maintain fourth place to qualify for the next Champions League starting Sunday against Alaves.

MAY 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Goal and assist Sunday Jauregizar scored one goal and assisted once from three shots and two chances created in Sunday's 7-1 victory over Valladolid.

Impact Jauregizar recorded a pair of goal contributions in Sunday's dominant win, his first two goal contributions since Sept. 29. He opened up the scoring with an outside-the-box strike in the 10th minute off a Nico Williams assist, then set up Oihan Lancet's strike just before halftime to take the 4-0 lead. He finished Sunday's match with three shots on target after coming into the match with just two through 21 appearances. He also created multiple chances before he was subbed off in the 64th minute for Ruiz de Galarreta.

FEBRUARY 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Fires in three shots Jauregizar generated three shots (zero on goal) in Saturday's 1-0 defeat versus Atletico Madrid.

Impact Jauregizar appeared off the bench for a mere 26 minutes Saturday but still had a decent outing, registering three shots in the loss. He has now started in one of the club's four matches, appearing to be a rotational option with low fantasy value due to his defensive role, registering one cross, two chances created and three tackles in the attack compared to his one interception, three clearances and five tackles in the defense.

SEPTEMBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Plays full game against Valencia Jauregizar registered four crosses (one accurate) and five corners in Wednesday's 1-0 victory against Valencia.

Impact Jauregizar showed promise in his first start of the season, creating two chances and contributing defensively with two tackles and two clearances. Last season, he had limited opportunities, making just seven appearances with only one start. This season, however, appears to be a valuable opportunity for him to prove himself and secure more consistent playing time.
