The Spanish newspaper 'Marca' revealed details about the injury of Nico Williams, the winger of Athletic Bilbao, which he sustained during his participation with the Spanish national team against Turkey in the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.

Nico suffered an injury to his left adductor, which forced coach Luis de la Fuente to substitute him early for Ferran Torres before the end of the first half of the match.

The newspaper indicated that the player returned today, Monday, to Bilbao to undergo further medical examinations, and it turned out to be the same area where he sustained a previous injury last season.

Marca estimated Nico's absence to be at least 6 weeks, which represents a significant blow to Athletic Bilbao at the start of the season.

According to the duration of the absence, Nico Williams will miss the anticipated match against Deportivo Alavés next Saturday in the upcoming round of La Liga, in addition to facing Arsenal in the first round of the group stage in the Champions League.
