Athletic Bilbao Trio Return Imminent Following Injury Recoveries
Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams of Athletic Bilbao are nearing a return to full fitness, potentially providing a significant boost for the club’s upcoming campaign. Both players sustained thigh muscle injuries that prevented them from participating in the final stages of the season. Despite their absence, preparations for the new season are proceeding.
Victor Munoz, Athletic Bilbao’s winger, is expected to be available for Spain’s opening game against Albania in Atlanta. However, none of the three players – Yamal, Williams, or Munoz – traveled to Mexico for a scheduled friendly match against Peru. All three athletes have remained within the club’s preparatory camp in the United States.
Head coach Luis de la Fuente stated, “We are sorry that they are not here with us, but their medical and fitness staff advised them to stay in the USA.”
De la Fuente confirmed that all three players are recovering well and are expected to be ready for the next competitive match. He indicated that they are progressing satisfactorily and should be available for selection. The anticipated return of Yamal, Williams, and Munoz will be a welcome addition to the team’s options as they prepare for the season.
