Athletic Bilbao fullback Imanol targets starting return

Athletic Bilbao fullback Imanol hopes to find his way back into the starting XI against Cadiz on Saturday.

He started first three fixtures of the campaign, but was on the bench for the clash with RCD Mallorca.

"I'll play wherever the coach puts me, I'm here to make selecting the starting eleven more difficult for him," Imanol said at a press conference on Wednesday morning.

"I feel very good and I'm working to improve my tackling. I think I'm getting there and I'll try to keep improving.

"In this division all the matches are difficult because all the teams are very good," he added. "Cádiz are a very strong side, we've already seen that in the first few matches. They're going to make life difficult for us, but we're prepared for it."
