Nico Williams will not be with Spain for the next matches. The Athletic winger has left the camp after the discomfort in his left thigh failed to go away following the match against Croatia.

The decision comes after several days of monitoring, during which Nico finished the match played in Seville with discomfort and, during the rest day, the national team medical staff oversaw his progress. The issue did not ease and the player also did not take part in Thursday's training.

The medical tests carried out this Thursday have finally cleared up the situation. The Federation has decided to release the player so he can continue his recovery in Bilbao, where he will be under the supervision of Athletic's medical services.

RFEF statement: 

Nico Williams withdraws from the Spain national team camp. The Athletic Club international reported discomfort in his left thigh after the match played in Seville against Croatia. During the rest day, his progress was closely monitored and, given that the discomfort persisted, he did not take part in Thursday's training.

After the medical tests carried out today by the Medical Services of the Spanish Football Federation, it has been decided to remove him from the current camp in order to continue the recovery process.

Athletic Club's medical services have been informed at all times about the player's progress, who will continue his treatment and recovery under the supervision of his club.

A blow for Athletic

For Athletic, it is also a setback. The club has been kept informed at all times about the player's progress and will now be the one to oversee his recovery. For now, the official information points to discomfort in the left thigh, but does not specify a concrete period of absence.

And in Fantasy, what do I do?

In Fantasy terms, it is time to stay calm. There is no diagnosis that allows us to calculate yet how long he will be out or confirm whether he will make the next Athletic match. The most sensible option is to wait to see how he develops over the coming days before making a final decision with Nico.
