Deportivo Alavés starts the season opening match against Eibar with notable lineup adjustments. New forward Iván Gil has joined the squad while midfielder Unai Nolaskoain takes up his expected role as players adjust during pre-season training in Laguardia. The trial zone in Laguardia acts as Alavés’s primary testing ground for preparing the team ahead of the Eibar fixture. These changes show ongoing reshuffles within squads as personnel restructure before competitive play begins.
