Unai Nunez - Page 2 - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Joins Celta on loan Nunez joined Celta Vigo on a season-long loan loan from Athletic Club, it was announced Saturday. Should the loan be extended to a second season, Celta have a compulsory clause to...

Impact Nunez was likely to be moved on as he's too talented a player to be stuck as the fourth-choice center-back. It would be unsurprising to see him take on a bigger role with his new club, which is in need of more help at the back.

On bench in season finale Nunez was an unused substitute in last weekend's defeat against Sevilla.

Impact Nunez made nine appearances (seven starts) in La Liga this season, but he's behind Inigo Martinez, Yeray Alvarez and Dani Vivian in Athletic's center back depth chart.

MAY 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

On bench against Osasuna Nunez (knee) is in Athletic Club's match day squad for Sunday's clash against Osasuna.

Impact Nunez missed Tuesday's loss to Granada with a knock on his knee, but he has rejoined the squad now and is back on the bench Sunday against Osasuna.

MAY 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out with knee injury Nunez will not be available for Tuesday's clash against Granada due to discomfort in his knee, Athletic Club announced Monday.

Impact Nunez has mostly been a backup option for Bilbao in central defense this season, but he will miss the Granada game on Tuesday due to injury.

MAY 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Plays first half in loss Nunez played for 45 minutes of Monday's 3-2 loss to Mallorca.

Impact Nunez has started in six of his eight appearances this season and Monday represented a rare chance to establish his place in the side. Instead, he appeared as one of the weak links and may miss out on more minutes for a while given that a fullback in Yuri Berchiche replaced him after a single half.

FEBRUARY 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

On bench in cup win Nunez (calf) was an unused substitute in Thursday's Copa del Rey victory against Barcelona.

Impact Nunez has missed a few games, first with COVID-19 and then with a calf injury, but he was fit enough to be with the team Thursday and could be available once again in versus Rayo in La Liga on Sunday.

JANUARY 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out against Alaves Nunez has suffered a calf injury and will miss Sunday's clash against Alaves, Bilbao announced Saturday.

Impact Nunez wasn't likely to start on Sunday with Inigo Martinez and now Dani Vivian returning from illness and injury, respectively, but he is now set to miss at least one game, with return date yet to be determined.

JANUARY 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

On bench in Copa del Rey Nunez (illness) was an unused substitute in Thursday's Copa del Rey victory against Atletico Mancha Real.

Impact Nunez missed last weekend's victory against Osasuna with COVID-19 after starting the two previous games in central defense. He has recovered, but will likely remain on the bench against Alaves on Sunday in favor of Yeray Alvarez and Inigo Martinez.

JANUARY 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Tests negative for COVID-19 Nunez tested negative for COVID-19 and returned to training in Wednesday's session.

Impact Nunez had started two straight games before picking up a positive test in a club-wide outbreak, which is certainly some unfortunate timing. With Yeray Alvarez regularly playing and Inigo Martinez returning from his own absence due to COVID-19, Nunez could end up on the bench if he's not careful.

JANUARY 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Tests positive for COVID-19 Nunez tested positive for COVID-19 and has entered a quarantine, Bilbao announced Thursday.

Impact Nunez will miss at least a week while in isolation, but he has started just five La Liga matches this season. Inigo Martinez (illness) might be able to return to the lineup having recovered from the virus himself.

DECEMBER 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Comes off bench in draw Nunez created one chance in 32 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 1-1 draw with Espanyol.

Impact Nunez just returned from an ankle injury and made the bench without much early expectation of playing, though a knock to Dani Vivian sent him in for the final phase of the match. With Vivian confirmed to have a muscular issue, Nunez could be set to return to the starting lineup for Sunday's derby at Real Sociedad.

OCTOBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Held in reserve Tuesday Nunez (ankle) will be an option off the bench against Espanyol on Tuesday.

Impact Prior to his three-game absence due to his ankle problem, Nunez was a healthy scratch in six of the club's first seven contests. As such, fantasy players shouldn't be expecting the central defender to offer much in the way of value moving forward.

OCTOBER 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to traveling squad Nunez (ankle) is back in the traveling squad for Tuesday's clash with Espanyol.

Impact Nunez could easily make the starting XI if fully fit, and provides much needed reinforcement to the Athletic squad. With a short week he will likely be called upon from the bench at the very least.

OCTOBER 25, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers ankle sprain Nunez (ankle) suffered a mild-moderate ankle sprain, according to Bilbao's medical report.

Impact Nunez's ankle sprain was labelled as "mild-moderate" which means it will likely sideline Nunez for at least two weeks. With the international break coming up Nunez could be ready to return before an Oct. 17 trip to Real Madrid.
