Football: Spain Coach Backs Nico Williams To Recover In Time For 2026 World Cup
The FIFA World Cup: Spain coach Luis de la Fuente on Tuesday expressed confidence that winger Nico Williams would recover in time for the World Cup finals despite suffering a hamstring injury at the weekend. Williams had to be helped off the pitch during the first half of Athletic Club's 1-0 home defeat to Valencia on Sunday, with tests on Monday confirming a moderate injury to his left hamstring.
The injury rules the 23-year-old out for the remainder of Athletic's domestic season, but speaking at a press conference on Tuesday, De la Fuente said Williams should still be fit in time for the World Cup.
"We have been fortunate that Nico's injury is a grade one strain and should be recoverable in three or four weeks if there are no setbacks," De la Fuente said.
