Nico Williams brings big news to Sporting, Lions rubbing their hands | OneFootball

Nico Williams is injured and may miss the upcoming games, including the match against Sporting. The biggest star of Athletic Bilbao is currently dealing with pubalgia and may not be fit to face the green and whites in the Champions League.

According to information reported by the newspaper Marca, the injury is the reason for the poor season of the Spanish international, as the winger has been playing while carrying some pain, which lowers his performance level and has relegated him to the bench on several occasions.

"Starting him in the derby would be a bit too much, because he has been struggling with some problems," said Ernesto Valverde, coach of Athletic Bilbao, after the match against Real Sociedad, their Basque Country rivals, which ended in a 3-2 defeat.

The aforementioned source says that the medical department of the San Mamés club has been trying to resolve Nico Williams' pubalgia, but without much success. In the worst-case scenario, the forward will have to undergo surgery and will miss two to three months of competition.

Therefore, it is possible that he will miss the clash with Sporting in the Champions League, as the Alvalade club visits Juventus and the referee has already been appointed.
