Athletic Club winger Nico Williams is facing another frustrating spell away from the pitch after it was confirmed that he is still struggling with pubalgia and will begin a specialised recovery program starting tomorrow.
The Spanish international has been dealing with persistent discomfort in recent weeks, raising concerns over his fitness and availability for upcoming fixtures. According to reports, Williams could be sidelined for several more weeks as the medical staff carefully manage his condition to avoid long-term complications.
Athletic Club head coach Ernesto Valverde addressed the situation in his latest press conference, admitting that the winger is not yet fully fit.
“Nico is still having some problems and isn’t 100% yet,” Valverde confirmed, underlining the uncertainty surrounding the player’s return date.
This development comes as a significant blow for Athletic Club, who rely heavily on Williams’ pace, creativity, and attacking threat on the flanks. The young one has been one of the team’s most dangerous players this season, contributing both goals and assists while consistently stretching opposition defenses with his explosive runs.
