Speaking at Friday’s press conference, Andoni Iraola has no other concerns for the trip to Newcastle United.
“We are in the same situation. We have Justin [Kluivert] out and Lew [Cook] is training partially with the group. He has started but is not still ready for a game, but he is very close.
“So, apart from those two, everyone is available and I will have to make tough decisions in the squad, but we are in a good place there.” – Andoni Iraola
Other questions focused on this week’s announcement that Iraola will leave the club at the end of 2025/26.
“I think the decision I’ve taken is because probably I don’t want to risk the feeling I have right now of satisfaction of these three seasons. You try to envisage yourselves in a possible fourth season, in a possible fifth season, and everything costs more. You know, we as human beings, we get tired of watching always the same faces and, I suppose, I’ve decided that this was the right moment to put an end to this journey that, for me, has been really, really special.” – Andoni Iraola on his exit
