🚨 Nico Williams out indefinitely, Athletic release medical update | OneFootball

The Athletic Club has raised alarms regarding the physical condition of its star player, Nico Williams.

After the recent match against Real Oviedo, the medical staff of the Bilbao club issued a medical report confirming a complicated injury for the international winger.

According to the official statement, the younger of the Williams brothers is suffering from pubalgia, which will force him to stay away from the pitch. This injury, known for its difficult management and variable recovery times, requires a specific approach to prevent it from becoming a chronic issue in the future.

To speed up his recovery process, the player has started treatment under the supervision of an external specialist. This personalized work plan will focus on rehabilitating the affected area, which means his immediate absence from group dynamics and upcoming official matches.

No set return date

The club has chosen not to set a specific date for his return, emphasizing that his availability will depend strictly on the daily progress of his treatment. This lack of a timeline creates uncertainty around San Mamés, which loses its main offensive weapon for an indefinite period.

Nico Williams’ absence is a major setback for the team’s tactical plans. The coaching staff will have to look for alternatives on the wings to make up for the verticality and imbalance provided by a player who is a key piece in Athletic’s system this season.
