Impact Serrano suffered an injury during Athletic's Copa Del Rey match on Oct. 29 against AE Prat and is now in jeopardy of missing time, questionable to face Osasuna.

He did miss quite a few matches to begin the season, although this seems like a smaller injury, potentially still an option for Saturday.

Impact Serrano continues to advance in his recovery process, as the attacker is now training with the group after working with a ball around three weeks ago.

Impact Serrano has looked better with each passing performance, though he wasn't nearly as productive as when he scored on his debut. Still, there was a noticeable improvement in the quality of the attack when Serrano was replaced by captain Iker Muniain, so there's more to improve on for the youngster. Up next is the Copa del Rey semifinal against Valencia before Monday's trip to Mallorca.

Scores in first start Serrano scored one goal from two shots (one on goal) in 62 minutes of Sunday's 1-0 win over Rayo Vallecano.

He paid off that opportunity with a fine volleyed finish to the far post, which turned out to be the game's only goal as both sides pressed with intensity. In the long run there's likely to be more output from Serrano, as it's unlikely he'll start frequently when Iker Muniain (COVID-19) comes back.
