Gomez was forced off in the first half of Saturday's pre-season friendly against the Gunners after suffering a thigh injury. This is bad news for Athletic as Gomez was in the starting lineup replacing Oihan Sancet, who is also injured. If Gomez misses upcoming fixtures, Alex Berenguer could see a larger role and is likely to start as the number 10 for Bilbao.
