Spanish star Nico Williams, a player for Athletic Bilbao, suffered an injury while participating with his national team against Turkey in the ongoing match of the European qualifiers for the World Cup.

Williams experienced a muscular issue in his left leg, believed to be at the level of the adductor muscle, which forced the coaching staff to substitute him in the 41st minute, with Ferran Torres coming in as his replacement.

This injury represents a significant blow to Athletic Bilbao, which heavily relies on Williams in its starting lineup, amid fears of a prolonged absence if the severity of the injury is confirmed.

The player is expected to undergo further medical examinations upon his return to Bilbao to determine the nature of his injury and the duration of his absence.
