Legendary Athletic striker Aritz Aduriz, 39, announced his retirement, BBC reported.
His deal with Athletic will expire on June 30, but he will not be able to train amid the injury.
"Many times, I have said that football will leave you before you leave it," he wrote on Twitter.
"Yesterday, the doctors told me to go see the surgeon, sooner rather than later, to get a prosthetic to replace my hip and try to go about my everyday life, as normally as possible. Unfortunately, my body has said 'enough'.
"I can't help my team-mates the way I would like to, nor the way they deserve. That is the life of a professional athlete. Simple."
