Herrera set for spell on the sidelines

The 24-year-old has made seven appearances in the league this season, helping Athletic to sixth in the table, but he is now set for a spell in the treatment room.

Herrera started their 1-1 draw with Valencia last weekend but was substituted at half-time by Ernesto Valverde, although that is thought to have just been a tactical change rather than in relation to any knock.

"The player has suffered an injury to the abductor muscles in his left leg during training session on October 11," a statement on the club's website confirmed.
