Reassuring news emerges in the Basque Country! Indeed, after his exit before half-time against Valencia yesterday, Nico Williams underwent medical examinations and the tests ruled out any serious injury as indicated Marca. The results notably excluded tendon damage, the main source of concern for the Athletic Club and the Spanish selection. Only the left hamstring was affected.

His unavailability is ultimately estimated at around three weeks according to information from the Spanish media. The 23-year-old will still have to follow a gradual recovery, but the signals remain positive internally. All things considered, the La Roja star should be fit for the 2026 World Cup, with even a possibility of being present in the first match against Cape Verde.
