Unai Egiluz returns to group training with Athletic
Operated on his right knee for a second time in June 2026, Athletic will assess his immediate future in December. Contract until June 2028.
Unai Egiluz has rejoined the group for the physical session Athletic held this Wednesday at Lezama. The centre-back is in the rehabilitation phase after a second rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, according to MARCA.
The 24-year-old has been out since May, when he suffered a serious injury in training. The graft that had been placed after his first ACL tear, in a friendly in August 2025, gave way again, and the second surgery took place in June 2026.
Egiluz was not registered by Athletic in the summer window and has not played an official match since his loan at Mirandés ended in the 2024-25 season, where he appeared 33 times. In December the club will assess his immediate future. His contract runs until June 2028.
