José Javier Zabaleta and Jon Mariezkurrena II, the most impactful backcourt players, are set to return to the court on April 26 at Bilbao's Club Deportivo, starting at 5:15 PM.

Both pelota players, key figures in the backcourt for their respective companies, will be back in action on Sunday, April 26, at Bilbao's Club Deportivo. Zabaleta has been out of play since March 15, the date his participation in the Campeonato de Parejas concluded due to hand issues.
Meanwhile, Mariezkurrena II, the backcourt player from Berriozar, has been sidelined since March 28 due to physical discomfort in his left adductor, sustained during the warm-up for Baiko Pilota's Campeonato Manomanista Serie A qualifier.
In their comeback match, Zabaleta will team up with Iker Salaberria to face Beñat Zubizarreta and Mariezkurrena II. This encounter will serve as the curtain-raiser for the main event between Iker Larrazabal and the winner of the Jon Ander Peña versus Zabala match, scheduled for this Saturday in Iruñea, corresponding to the second round of the quarter-final league stage of the Manomanista de Primera.
