Report: Iker Muniain returns to training after ACL injury

Athletic Bilbao will receive a welcome boost to its attacking front as winger Iker Muniain has reportedly returned to training after being sidelined for five months with an ACL injury.

Muniain took part in 40 minutes of training on Tuesday along with his teammates. The Spanish attacker suffered a serious injury to his cruciate ligament back in April and has been on the mend ever since.

While Muniain may be back on the training fields, he still remains several weeks away before returning to the playing field at the San Mames Stadium.

Despite his age, Muniain has made 254 appearances in his six seasons with Athletic, scoring 33 goals. He has also been capped by the Spanish national team.
