Deportivo Alavés begins the season first game against Eibar with key lineup adjustments. New forward Iván Gil has been added to the squad while midfielder Unai Nolaskoain steps into 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 fine-tuning the team ahead of the Eibar fixture. These changes show ongoing reshuffles within squads as personnel restructure before competitive play begins.
