Nico Williams Withdraws Injured from Spain Duty
Athletic Club’s Nico Williams Withdraws from Spain’s UEFA Nations League Squad
Athletic Club star Nico Williams has become the latest player to withdraw from Spain’s UEFA Nations League squad due to injury. This setback has disrupted coach Luis de la Fuente’s plans, as several players have pulled out recently.
Spain’s Nations League Campaign
Spain, also known as La Roja, started their Nations League campaign with a draw against Serbia and a win against Switzerland last month. However, as they prepare for upcoming matches against Denmark and Serbia, Williams has returned to Bilbao.
Injury Concerns and Replacement
According to reports from Relevo, Williams’ injury is not significant, with a muscle issue being the cause. The La Roja medical team confirmed the problem, leading to Sergio Gomez from Real Sociedad being called up as a replacement. Williams, who started both games in September, was expected to play a key role in the upcoming matches.
Next Steps for Athletic Club
With Williams out of Spain’s squad, Athletic Club will be focusing on their upcoming La Liga match against Espanyol on October 19. The team will need to adjust to the absence of their star player as they aim for a positive result.
