Bilbao, Spain – Na dia gist wey show say Ernesto Valverde don call 30 players join the squad for two friendly matches wey go happen tomorrow for Anfield against Liverpool. Dem no go get Yeray, wey don collect positive test for UEFA drug check, and Egiluz plus Paredes, wey dey injured. Valverde even summon some boys from the youth team make dem complete the squad (abi na boys club?).

Dem don plan fly go England dis afternoon, and the matches go start by 18:00 and 21:00 local time (time don dey run, abeg). De Luis dey back inside the list after he make him debut for Muriedas when Egiluz knot him knee last week (safety first nah!).

Another player wey don enter na Duñabeitia, wey sabi rough play for the defence. Santos, the third goalkeeper, don also make the list, plus Johaneko Louis-Jean, wey dem sign last year on a two-year deal. This guy na big prospect for French football, plus him former team Girondins of Bordeaux don dey relegation. Na good chance for him to show wetin e fit do.

E be lik say dem go face tough test against Liverpool, the reigning Premier League champions (no pressure, right?).

Looking at the matches, na dream for any footballer to play for Anfield. The stadium dey give that classic vibe, and fans wey follow the team go feel the excitement (goosebumps alert!). Even if na just a friendly match, e dey carry weight.

Valverde dey face serious wahala with defenders, as only Dani Vivian dey available for the backline. The coach no fit hide im worries as dem get less than two weeks before LaLiga go start. Di first match for the season na on the 17th of August against who-sabi-who, and as e be, dem don only win one of four prep matches this summer – no be small wahala o!
