Julen Agirrezabala has brought an end to his season with Valencia CF. The Basque goalkeeper had to undergo surgery to address a meniscus injury he had been dealing with for weeks.

The decision was made jointly by the medical services of Valencia CF and Athletic Club, the entity that owns his federative rights. After evaluating his progress, specialists concluded that surgery was the best option.

As reported by AS, the goalkeeper will not play again for the remainder of LaLiga. His time at Mestalla, where he arrived on loan last summer, comes to a close earlier than expected. The goal now is for the player to complete a full recovery to return in perfect condition at the start of the next preseason.

Julen Agirrezabala and an injury that altered his season

Julen Agirrezabala's season at Valencia CF had been notable until the appearance of physical problems. The goalkeeper had earned the trust of coach Carlos Corberán.

Since joining the team, the Basque goalkeeper took on the starting role in Valencia's goal. His security between the posts and his personality quickly convinced the fans. During the early months of competition in LaLiga, Julen Agirrezabala responded with solid performances. His contributions helped Valencia CF compete with greater defensive stability.

However, a muscular injury suffered in the match against Celta de Vigo marked a turning point in his campaign. That ailment kept him sidelined for several weeks, halting the continuity he had achieved in the team.

Athletic Club makes the definitive decision

Just when it seemed that Julen Agirrezabala was close to returning to action, a new setback arose. The goalkeeper suffered a meniscus injury during a training session. He traveled to Vitoria to consult with trusted doctors and specialists associated with Athletic Club.

Following various medical tests, the specialists recommended a surgical intervention through arthroscopy. The goal of the operation was to avoid major complications and ensure a complete recovery for the player.

The decision was also agreed upon with the medical staff of Valencia CF, who understood that the player's health should be the priority.

An early conclusion to his time at Valencia CF

The surgery means that Julen Agirrezabala will not play again this season in LaLiga. This prematurely closes his chapter at Valencia CF. The goalkeeper joined the Valencian club to cover the departure of Giorgi Mamardashvili and compete for the starting position with Stole Dimitrievski.

Throughout the season, he played a total of 19 official matches: 18 in LaLiga and one in the Copa del Rey. His performances left a positive impression at Mestalla, where the audience valued his competitive character and leadership ability.

A future pointing back to Athletic Club

The agreement between Valencia CF and Athletic Club included a purchase option close to 12 million euros. However, that clause does not seem to be part of the current plans of the Valencian club.

All signs point to Julen Agirrezabala returning to Athletic Club once the loan period ends. During his recovery, he will remain in the Basque Country, where he will follow the medical process supervised by the club's specialists.

The intention is for the goalkeeper to arrive in prime condition at the start of preseason. For Julen Agirrezabala, this setback represents a bitter end to his adventure with Valencia CF. Nevertheless, his performance in LaLiga has left a positive image.

Now, the goalkeeper's goal is to focus on his recovery to return strongly to Athletic Club's squad and compete at the highest level once again.
