Nico Williams withdraws from Spain squad for Nations League ties | OneFootball

Nico Williams has pulled out of Spain’s squad with left thigh discomfort and will miss the remaining two Nations League matches, returning to Bilbao. According to as.com, no replacement will be called, leaving 25 players in camp.

Spain travel on Friday to Oviedo to face Czechia, then head to Split for the second fixture. This follows earlier withdrawals through injury for Eric García and Grimaldo.

The Athletic Club winger felt the issue after the game in Seville against Croatia. He was monitored closely during Wednesday’s rest day and, with the problem persisting, did not train on Thursday.

After tests by the Spanish federation’s medical staff, he was released from the camp to continue his recovery in Bilbao with Athletic’s doctors. The club’s medical team have been kept informed throughout.

Williams struggled last season with pubalgia. His rehabilitation will now be overseen by the club.
