A few days ago it became known that the defender had undergone chemotherapy and was preparing to return to the field.

The official website of Athletic Bilbao said that the results of the tests showed that the player can again start training with the team. Also for the player to continue detailed observation.

According to Marca, to wait for the player to return to the field earlier than in 2-3 months is not worth it, because the body after the fight with the disease is too exhausted.

Recall that in December 2016 Yera found a testicular cancer, with which he successfully coped. Alvarez returned to the field in February and was even included in the Spanish youth team for Euro 2017 in Poland, but in June the doctors found that the disease began to progress again.
