Athletic Club Bilbao have confirmed the arrival of central defender Unai Nunez on loan from Celta Vigo for the season.
Marcos Andre joined Valencia's injury list this week, leaving the veteran Edinson Cavani as their only fit striker.
After Celta Vigo striker Iago Aspas cancelled out Karim Benzema's early penalty on Saturday evening, goals from Luka Modric, Vinicius Jr and Federico Valverde kept Real Madrid rolling early in its title defence.
The draw can be a potential title-decider as Real Madrid stand a great chance to topple Barcelona and reclaim the numero uno position in the points table.
Real Madrid own the superior head-to-head against Barcelona and have won four out of four since La Liga restarted earlier this month.

La Liga team Real Madrid were not able to register a win in their second match of the season on Saturday at their home ground.
The 26-year-old player had returned to Madrid in the previous year after a one year stint with Olympique Lyon. He, however, did not perform as well as Madrid would have liked.
