Latest Athletic Bilbao vs Mallorca team information
Athletic Bilbao will be without Benat Prados, Unai Egiluz and Mikel Vesga through injury, while Alex Berenguer is a doubt.
Yeray Alvarez is suspended until April next year, so he will definitely miss out. However, Nico Williams is likely to return from a groin injury – good news for Athletic, as he has a goal and two assists in his first three games of the season.
For Mallorca, Marash Kumbulla, Omar Mascarell and Takuma Asano are all absent due to injury.
Vedat Muriqi is the biggest hope with 4 goals in 6 games and will definitely start. The absence of Asano is a significant loss, as he is 1 of only 3 Mallorca players to have scored this season.
New signing Mateo Joseph has yet to score a goal, but the 21-year-old is likely to continue to be trusted by coach Arrasate in the starting lineup.

Latest football commentary Athletic Bilbao vs Mallorca
Athletic head into the weekend following a 4-1 defeat to Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League, extending a run of six games without a win in all competitions.
The Basque side started La Liga impressively with three consecutive wins against Sevilla, Rayo Vallecano and Real Betis, but they have not tasted victory since the end of August.
Athletic lost both of their opening two Champions League group games against Arsenal and Dortmund, and have picked up just one point from their last four La Liga games: a draw with Girona and defeats to Alaves, Valencia and Villarreal.
“The Lions” are currently 10th in the rankings, 3 points behind 4th place Elche, but their poor form has not shown the image of a team capable of competing for a Champions League spot.
Athletic have won just one of their last seven La Liga games against Mallorca, with both meetings last season ending in draws.
Five of the last six La Liga meetings between the two sides have ended in draws. Mallorca have also lost just once in their La Liga away games against Athletic since September 2021.
However, Mallorca are also having a difficult start to the 2025-26 season, having only won 5 points after 7 matches and falling to 19th place in the rankings.
Coach Jagoba Arrasate's team only won 1 point in the first 4 rounds, but improved their performance with 4 points in the last 3 matches: drew with Atletico Madrid, lost 0-1 to Real Sociedad and won 1-0 against Alaves.
The crucial win over Alaves came thanks to a first-half strike from Takuma Asano.
Last season, Mallorca finished 10th and just four points off the European places, so their current slump is surprising, especially given the quality of their squad.
