Athletic face Celta at San Mamés, with tributes planned, and a win offers some chance of sneaking into the Conference League places.
Kick-off is at 19:00. In his 503rd match in charge, Ernesto Valverde and long-serving full-back Iñigo Lekue, after 11 seasons, will be saluted by the crowd 15 minutes beforehand, according to as.com.
Valverde will be without hamstrung Nico Williams and Oihan Sancet, plus the again-injured Egiluz. Centre-back Dani Vivian did not come through a late test on a right ankle sprain in the evening session at Lezama.
Yuri Berchiche is available after a knock to his left fibula. Attacking midfielder Selton Sánchez, wearing 44, returns to the squad after recent duty with the B team.
Athletic’s 23-man list: Unai Simón, Padilla, Gorosabel, Paredes, Yeray, Vesga, Berenguer, Williams, Guruzeta, Areso, Laporte, Lekue, Ruiz de Galarreta, Yuri Berchiche, Jauregizar, Adama, Unai Gómez, Maroan, Nico Serrano, Navarro, Izeta, Rego and Selton.
