<p>This was after he missed the final weeks of the season through injury, with Bilbao manager Ernesto Bilbao revealing that the striker had been playing with a glass in his foot.</p>

<p>The 30-year-old, therefore, went under the knife to remove the glass, which meant he had to spend some weeks on the sidelines as a consequence.</p>

<p>The forward was also recently pictured in Germany to support his younger brother Nico during Spain’s round-of-16 victory over Georgia in the ongoing 2024 European Championship.</p>
