Concerns for Nico Williams ahead of World Cup

Published January 27, 2026, 15:27

Concern is growing in Bilbao and the Spanish national team regarding the condition of Nico Williams, who is suffering from abdominal/groin syndrome. The problem began in the summer and was initially treated with conservative therapy, but the pain persists. The possibility of surgery is being considered, but this would sideline him for approximately two months, jeopardizing his participation in the upcoming World Cup. Williams has already been affected competitively, with 22 appearances, 4 goals and 5 assists this year.
