Athletic Club have confirmed that Spanish-Ghanaian winger Nico Williams has picked up a muscle injury that will keep him out of action for the next few weeks.
The Spanish-Ghanaian winger pulled up in Spain’s clash with Turkey after just 43 minutes and the news from Bilbao has confirmed supporters’ worries.
Athletic revealed on Monday that Williams is dealing with a moderate muscle injury in his left adductor. The medical team explained his recovery “is pending” and no official timeline has been given. Still, in cases like this, the expectation is usually around two to three weeks out.
That gap is significant. Athletic are entering one of their busiest stretches of the season with seven matches crammed into 21 days. Williams’ absence rules him out of La Liga ties against Alavés and Valencia, and the blow grows heavier with the Champions League opener against Arsenal at San Mames coming up on September 16.
For a player who has become central to Athletic’s rhythm and energy, the timing could hardly be worse. Supporters now wait anxiously for signs of his recovery.
