Athletic Bilbao vs Spartak Moscow: Live stream, TV channel, team news and kick-off time for the Europa League second leg

ATHLETIC BILBAO will look to follow up their impressive 3-1 first leg victory with a win at home against Spartak Moscow in the Europa League.

The Lions enjoyed a dominant first half in Russia to ensure they took away a massive advantage, with their opposition needing at least three goals at San Mames to be in with a chance of going through.

Yet, Athletic will need to put aside their domestic form, as a defeat to Atletico Madrid at the weekend saw them extended their winless run in La Liga to six games.

What time is kick-off?

THIS Europa League fixture will be held on Thursday, February 22.

The game will be hosted at San Mames.

Kick-off is at 8.05pm.

What is the team news?

INIGO MARTINEZ will not be a part of the Athletic Bilbao squad, as he is cup-tied, having featured for Real Sociedad earlier in the season.

Iker Muniain and Mikel Balenziaga will also be absent for the Basque club, with both nursing injuries.

Meanwhile, Spartak Moscow will be without defensive duo Georgi Tigiev and Giorgi Jikia, as they continue to recover from cruciate ligament problems, while Jano Ananidze is not yet ready to return from his ankle issue.
