The game had kicked off as planned but was halted after 17 minutes, with Granada explaining there was a "medical emergency" in the stands.

LaLiga later confirmed the match had been postponed and would be replayed at a later date.

"Granada vs. Athletic Bilbao has been suspended following the tragic death of a fan at the Estadio Nuevo los Cármenes," the league said in a brief statement.
