The verdict falls for Nico Williams

The Athletic Bilbao will have to do without Nico Williams. The Spanish striker was the victim of a left thigh injury with Spain against Turkey (6-0) this Sunday, in the Championship 2026 qualifiers.

The star of Zuri-Gorriak will be unavailable for an estimated period of six weeks, according to information from daily Marca. He will miss the start of the Basque club campaign in the Champions League.

Williams Package for two European shocks?

As a reminder, the Leones will welcome Arsenal on September 16 in San Mamés before going to Iduna Park to challenge Borussia Dortmund on October 1. Nico Williams will be absent for the match against the Gunners, and his presence promises to be uncertain against the BVB.
