Nico Williams injures himself with Spain and lands in Athletic’s treatment room
The Athletic winger picked up a moderate muscle issue vs Croatia and could miss roughly 3-4 weeks.
Nico Williams (Athletic Club) returned early from international duty due to the physical problem he picked up with the Spain squad. He was injured in the Nations League match against Croatia, and the Athletic says the issue is a moderate muscle injury in the left leg’s rectus anterior.
At the moment, he is the only player in Lezama’s treatment room. The club’s medical update does not put a specific timeline on the absence, but a “moderate” injury typically means about three to four weeks out.
Athletic resume training in Lezama today, with the staff facing the possibility of losing a key attacking option. They play again this Saturday in Vallecas, and the following match is on Saturday the 17th in Valencia.
