Athletic expects the physical condition of Nico Williams. The red and white striker is not included in the Spain squad today for the match against Scotland valid for Euro 2024. The winger from the Bilbao team seems to be suffering from intercostal discomfort.
Doubt surrounds whether or not he will be able to travel to Norway to participate in this Sunday’s clash. Luis de la Fuente himself clarified that Nico Williams will not be part of the expedition. “First and foremost is the health of the players and when we have the slightest doubt, we don’t take risks. It’s not important, but it will be impossible for them to be 100% on Sunday,” said the Spanish coach in a press conference.
The Spanish Federation itself reported after the clash against Scotland that “William has strained his intercostal muscles since last Tuesday.” The Athletic forward will return home today, Friday, although Valverde has given him days off until next Monday.
