Oihan Sancet - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Starting every game, staying healthy Sancet has one goal but has played every game so far in the 2026/27 season.

Impact Sancet might have just one goal this season, but he's been a real attacking threat from midfield. Playing in a classic No. 10 role in Athletic's 4-2-3-1 scheme, Sancet has taken at least two shots in all but one of his seven appearances in 2026/27, with six of them being on target. Sancet has also created nine chances, so his influence in the final third has been notable.

Scores in comfortable win Sancet scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-0 victory against Atletico Madrid.

Impact Sancet closed out the scoring for Athletic Club in the second half. The playmaker has started every game for Athletic so far and remains heavily involved on offense. Even though he has just one goal, his peripherals have shown value with at least two shots in every game and five total chances created in that stretch.

SEPTEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Two shots Thursday Sancet recorded two shots (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Thursday's 2-0 loss to Barcelona.

Impact Sancet led the team with two shots in Thursday's loss, but neither he nor the rest of the team could manage a single shot on target. He also created one chance on the attack. With five shots and four chances created through two matches, it's been a solid start to the season for Sancet despite his lack of a goal contribution.

AUGUST 27 • ROTOWIRE

Three shots, no goals Sancet registered three shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and three chances created in Saturday's 3-1 defeat to Sevilla.

Impact Sancet was decent in Saturday's loss, recording three shots and three chances created despite not earning a goal contribution. However, he did struggle to see many last season, with only four goals and no assists in 28 appearances (22 starts). He still appears to be a starter, so he will need to turn this around to keep his spot.

AUGUST 23 • ROTOWIRE

Back in preseason training Sancet returned to preseason training with Athletic Bilbao after missing the end of the 2025-26 campaign due to a hamstring injury, according to the club.

Impact Sancet appears to have recovered from the hamstring issue that sidelined him for the final weeks of last season. The attacking midfielder was included among the players reporting for the start of preseason preparations under new coach Edin Terzic, an encouraging sign for his availability heading into the new campaign. His return gives him a full preseason to rebuild fitness and sharpen his form after an injury-disrupted finish to the year. Sancet remains one of the squad's most influential attacking players when healthy and should be expected to play a prominent role if he avoids further setbacks.

JULY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Saturday Sancet (hamstring) is not in the match squad for Saturday's visit to Real Madrid.

Impact Sancet will end the season on the sidelines, missing his third consecutive game due to injury. The midfielder has struggled to find consistency in terms of both playing time and performance, with his total of four goals ranking fourth on the squad. If he can take advantage of the upcoming break to regain physical form, his talent may give Athletic a significant boost whenever he's ready to play. Until then, Unai Gomez will likely get the nod in the No. 10 role.

Uncertain for Bernabeu trip Sancet (undisclosed) trained separately from the rest of the squad Wednesday, three days before Athletic Club's season finale against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu, according to Edu...

Impact Sancet has yet to fully recover from the muscle issue that kept him out of Sunday's clash against Celta Vigo, and his availability for Saturday's final fixture remains uncertain. The midfielder's last opportunity to feature this season hinges on his progress over the coming days, with the club unlikely to take any unnecessary risks given the nature of the injury. Alex Berenguer and Nico Serrano are expected to continue covering in his absence should he be unable to prove his fitness in time.

MAY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Still sidelined Sancet (hamstring) will face another absence after being excluded from the squad for Sunday's match against Celta Vigo.

Impact Sancet has yet to fully recover from a muscle issue he picked up in early May, and his last chance to play would come in the season finale against Real Madrid if he makes progress in the coming week. The injury-prone midfielder failed to find consistency in his performance during the 2025/26 period, and he scored four goals over 17 league or UCL games in the first half of the calendar year. Alex Berenguer and Nico Serrano should continue to benefit with increased playing time in his place.

MAY 16 • ROTOWIRE

Out against Espanyol Sancet (undisclosed) will miss Wednesday's clash against Espanyol, with the club opting for caution while awaiting the full results of his MRI, according to Edu Velasco Jr of El Ch...

Impact Sancet sought to downplay concerns upon arriving for his scan, but Athletic Club preferred not to rush him back before having a clearer picture of his condition. The absence of the Navarrese midfielder is a notable blow for coach Ernesto Valverde, who loses a key creative presence in the attack. Alex Berenguer is expected to step in for the Wednesday fixture, with the full extent of the injury to be confirmed once the MRI results are available.

MAY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in win over Alaves Sancet scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 4-2 win against Deportivo Alaves.

Impact Sancet evened things up late in the second half with a great goal, as he took advantage of a pass from Yuri Berchiche to drill an unstoppable shot from the edge of the box. Sancet's numbers haven't been as good as they were in 2024/25, but he remains a valuable fantasy asset. He's been limited to just four goals in 27 league outings this season after scoring 15 times in the previous campaign.

MAY 5 • ROTOWIRE

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.

MARCH 23 • ROTOWIRE

Three shots, no goal Sancet registered three shots (two on goal), two crosses (two accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 1-0 defeat versus Barcelona.

Impact Sancet came off the bench Saturday for 45 minutes, doing his best to earn a point but not having any of his three shots hit the back of the net. He has gone three games without a goal, with only two in 20 appearances (17 starts) this season.

MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE

Takes five shots on Friday Sancet had five shots (two on target), created two chances and drew two fouls during Friday's 2-1 win over Elche.

Impact Sancet couldn't score like he did in each of the previous two matches but it wasn't for lack of trying as the playmaker matched his season high in shots attempted while also creating for teammates. Despite not having his scoring streak extended, Sancet had another performance that raised his fantasy profile after a very disappointing first half of campaign.

FEBRUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Scores from spot Oihan Sancet scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 2-1 victory versus Oviedo.

Impact Sancet scored from the penalty spot in the second half, and his goal would end up being the winner in this match. He'll have a good chance to score from open play against Elche, a side which has conceded 35 times in 24 La Liga games.

Starting versus Oviedo Sancet (hamstring) has made the initial XI to face Oviedo on Sunday.

Impact Sancet will recapture the starting job despite missing the past two matches because of a muscular injury. He has scored and assisted once in his last four appearances (two starts), adding six shots (two on target), three chances created and five crosses (zero accurate).

FEBRUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

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."

Impact Sancet missed the last two games with a hamstring injury but was back in full team training Friday and should be in the mix for Sunday's clash against Oviedo. That is a major boost for the Basques, as the playmaker is a locked-in starter up top when healthy and drives much of their attacking rhythm. 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.

FEBRUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Spotted in team training Sancet (hamstring) was spotted back in team training Friday and could be an option for Sunday's clash against Oviedo, according to Athletic Xtra.

Impact Sancet missed the last two matches with a hamstring injury but appears to be back in the mix after returning to full team training Friday. That is a big-time development, as he has locked down the number 10 role whenever healthy and remains one of the Basques' most reliable starters. His potential return would give the squad a much needed spark as they look to regain balance in what has been a turbulent season.

Suffers hamstring injury Sancet scored one goal before being forced off in the 50th minute of Wednesday's 3-2 loss against Sporting CP due to a hamstring injury that makes him a doubt for Sunday's derby ag...

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.

JANUARY 29 • ROTOWIRE

Injured in UCL match Sancet suffered an apparent injury that forced him to abandon after scoring one goal in Wednesday's game against Sporting CP.

Impact Sancet left his place on the pitch to Alex Berenguer in the initial minutes of the second half against the Portuguese side. Sancet has struggled with physical issues at different points of the season, so his status may once again be a concern for the squad, and he might not be risked if he's not fully fit. Therefore, players such as Berenguer and Unai Gomez could gain playing time in attacking midfield.

Limited impact in loss Sancet generated one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-0 loss versus Celta Vigo.

Impact Sancet still hasn't found his pace in three games played after returning from suspension. The midfielder failed to score or assist for the 15th time in a row in all competitions while adding just one shot and one chance created to his totals of 30 and 20, respectively, throughout the campaign. He's expected to retain the starting spot in a No. 10 role, but his poor form and decreasing playing time are bad signs for his overall value.

DECEMBER 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Five shots in home win Oihan Sancet recorded five shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 1-0 victory against Atletico Madrid.

Impact Sancet returned from suspension to take five shots as his side won 1-0 against Atletico Madrid. This is the most shots he has taken in a game this season, and despite scoring 15 goals last season, he has only managed one this season.

Suspension upgraded Sancet will miss an additional game due to his straight red card received against Barcelona, according to El Correo.

Impact Sancet will miss Wednesday's clash against Real Madrid due to a suspension upgrade for the straight red card he received against Barcelona. The playmaker will be back available for Saturday's game against Atletico. Selton Sanchez is expected to be the main option to replace him in the frontline against the Merengues.
