Arsen Zakharyan

Zakharyan (undisclosed) is back available for Friday's clash against Elche, the club posted.

Zakharyan (undisclosed) featured 41 minutes in the 3-2 victory in the Basque derby against Athletic but was forced off late due to an issue.

Zakharyan is building on his fitness and could be able to play soon after showing quality in training, coach Sergio Franciso said in the press conference. "Well, I'm starting to see him now too. I have the feeling that in the first few weeks of preseason it was difficult for him to be in his usual dynamics on the pitch, but now he's been here for two weeks and I feel like we have a very good player, that we have to take advantage of him, benefit from him, and he's getting closer to being able to play."

Zakharyan started in one of his three appearances while registering one goal on four shots in La Liga.

Zakharyan (thigh) is on the squad list for Sunday's match against Girona.
