Starting vs. Sevilla Muniain (quadriceps) is in the starting lineup to face Sevilla on Sunday.

Impact Muniain is set to play his final two games with Athletic before departing the club in the summer, so it makes sense for him to see minutes in order to say goodbye from the club as an active presence. That said, his fantasy upside shouldn't be very high, as he hasn't been much of a contributor all season long.

Could return Muniain (quadriceps) could return for Sunday's clash with Sevilla, according to Mundo Deportivo.

Impact Muniain is back in training and is an option for Sunday's clash. The attacking midfielder missed Wednesday's match with a bruised thigh, but is close to a full recovery, with a full week enough for him to heal. Muniain started just once in seven matches before the injury.

Out Wednesday Muniain (quadriceps) is out for Wednesday's trip to Celta Vigo, Athletic announced.

Will depart after season Munian will be departing Athletic at the end of the season, the club announced Wednesday.

Impact Munian's time with Athletic is coming to an end, as after 15 seasons with the club, he has decided to move on and join another club for the later years of his career. However, this shouldn't come as much of a surprise, as the club's captain has only appeared 17 times all season, with his role seemingly diminished after only starting three times all campaign. He will now hope to see a couple of decent matches in his final games in the red and white stripes, ending with a hero's goodbye in the club's season finale against Rayo Vallecano on May 26.

Six cross performance Muniain recorded one shot (one on goal), six crosses (one accurate) and four corners in Monday's 0-0 draw against Almeria.

Impact In a season of sporadic playing time, Muniain once again tried to make the most of his minutes after coming on at halftime to replace Unai Gomez. In his second half performance, Munain was central to Bilbao's effort to produce a breakthrough goal and was the key man for corner kicks (four attempted). Muniain has scored just one goal and not contributed an assist in 14 appearances (three starts) this campaign.

Scores off bench Muniain scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Friday's 4-0 victory against Mallorca.

Impact Since Dec. 2, Muniain has made three appearances, all off the bench. It took the third try, but he was able to finally get on the scoresheet for the 2023-24 La Liga. Ideally for Muniain, him scoring Friday can get him back to some regular playing time. After all, Athletic's team has played nine games since Dec. 2, and he sat out six of them.

Remains unavailable Thursday Muniain (undisclosed) will miss Thursday's clash with Sevilla.
