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 star player of Athletic Bilbao is dealing with a groin injury and might not be fit to face the green and whites in the Champions League.

According to information from the Marca newspaper, the injury is the reason for the poor season of the Spanish international, as the winger has been playing under constraints, with some pain, which lowers his performance level, relegating him to the bench on some occasions.

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

The aforementioned source says that the medical department of the San Mamés club has been trying to resolve Nico Williams' groin injury, 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, he might miss the clash with Sporting in the Champions League, the Alvalade Club visits Juventus and a referee has already been assigned.
