Nico Williams will have to observe a stoppage after being forced to leave the field prematurely during the Spanish selection match in Türkiye. Touched just before half-time, the winger of Athletic Bilbao has passed exams in his native land who revealed a “Moderate muscle lesion at the level of the left adductor”. The Basque club said it was “Waiting for evolution”without giving a specific delay, as usual.
However, this type of injury generally involves unavailability of approximately three weeks. Williams should therefore miss the resumption of La Liga this Saturday against Alavés, as well as the return of Leones to the Champions League next Tuesday against Arsenal. A blow for Athletic, which loses its biggest star in attack.
