Athletic will lose a very important piece at the start of 2024. Inaki Williams will play alongside Ghana in the African Cup to be held in Ivory Coast between January 13 and February 11. The Athletic striker could miss up to ten games if the Black Stars progress in the competition and the Lions also progress in the Cup.
Between those dates, the group led by Valverde He plays five matches in Liga, Real Sociedad and Mallorca at San Mamés and Valencia, Cádiz and Almería at home. The match against Sevilla at the Sánchez Pizjuán, which will be played as soon as the year starts, is also at risk as Ghana will focus on those days. In addition, they will miss the most important knockout rounds of the KO tournament, from the round of 32 to the first leg of the semi-finals, if people from Bilbao get the ticket for each of these rounds.
“We will try not to notice my absence with my teammates,” the player himself said on Monday after starring in the draw in Montilivi. His coach used an irony to define this important setback. “When the African Cup comes we will start stabbing each other. For now we will spend the month of December,” he said Valverde. Txingurri will be able to count on his services for four League matches and one Cup match, the rest in 2023, before his departure in January.
