Oihan Sancet - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Scores goal in victory Sancet scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-1 victory versus Betis.

Impact Sancet was one of Athletic Club's go-to attacking outlets from the jump and had already tested Pau Lopez before he finally broke through. He buried the home side's second goal just before halftime, stretching the lead to 2-0 after another setup from Inaki Williams. Working between the lines, he helped the Basques turn quick recoveries into direct pressure and gave Betis trouble every time he got on the ball facing goal. He finished with two shots (both on target) and now has 15 shots over his last six La Liga appearances, with two of those ending up in the back of the net.

Should be available Sunday Sancet (hamstring) should be an option for Sunday's clash against Oviedo, coach Ernesto Valverde said in the press conference. "Sancet we think yes."

His return comes at the right time, with the club entering the second stretch of the season and needing his creativity and final-third quality to spark the offense.

Impact Sancet has struggled to keep himself fit over the past several seasons with Athletic Club and suffered another injury in Wednesday's defeat against Sporting CP. The playmaker scored a goal before leaving the pitch in the 50th minute due to a hamstring injury, which makes him a major doubt for Sunday's derby against Real Sociedad. This is a blow for Bilbao since Sancet is an undisputed starter in the frontline when fit, and if he has to miss the game, a change will need to be made in the starting XI, with Robert Navarro likely to take a starting role in attacking midfield and Alex Berenguer expected to play on the right wing.
