Concerns are growing in Spain over the fitness of Athletic Bilbao and national team winger Nico Williams, as reports warn that a persistent pelvic injury could threaten his participation in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
According to Spanish newspaper Marca, Williams has yet to recover from an injury that has troubled him for some time, with his condition reportedly worsening rather than improving.
The 21-year-old is said to be experiencing increasing and acute pain in the groin area, raising fears that his current season could be severely disrupted.
The report adds that Athletic Bilbao’s medical staff are currently evaluating all available treatment options, including the possibility of surgery as a definitive solution.
Such a step, however, would likely sideline Williams for an extended period and significantly complicate his chances of being fully fit in time for the World Cup.
A final decision on whether the player will undergo surgery has not yet been made, as doctors continue to closely monitor his condition in the coming days.
The situation has sparked mounting concern within both Athletic Bilbao and the Spanish national team, with coaches and medical staff wary of the long-term implications of the injury on one of Spain’s brightest attacking talents.
