Rodri enters the scene against Athletic, who are looking for a reaction in the most adverse scenario.

The Spanish football league schedule for Thursday features two significant matches: Barcelona against Athletic Club and Celta de Vigo versus Osasuna. The Barcelona-Athletic fixture is highlighted by the potential debut of new Barcelona signing Rodri Hernández, while Athletic Club enters the match seeking their first victory of the season in a challenging environment.

Simultaneously, Celta de Vigo and Osasuna are set to face off in a match previously postponed due to poor pitch conditions at Balaídos. Amidst this preparation, Celta manager Claudio Giráldez has publicly expressed disagreement regarding the potential transfer of player Javi Rueda to Nottingham Forest for approximately 15 million euros. Despite the ongoing transfer speculation, Rueda has been included in the squad for the upcoming match against Osasuna.
