Athletic Club: Nico Williams returns to training ahead of Levante match
Athletic Club winger Nico Williams has returned to group training at Lezama following a three-week absence due to a muscular injury in his left thigh. His recovery comes as the team prepares for a postponed LaLiga fixture against Levante at the Ciutat de València.
While Williams' return to training is a positive development, his inclusion in the matchday squad remains subject to medical assessment. The club faces significant personnel challenges, as striker Gorka Guruzeta is confirmed to be out for the remainder of the season after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament rupture in his left knee. Additionally, Oihan Sancet and Álvaro Djaló remain unavailable due to physical issues.
Head coach Edin Terzić will need to reorganize the attacking lineup, with Iñaki Williams and Maroan Sannadi expected to serve as primary alternatives for the center-forward position.
