Athletic returns with Williams return imminent

Nico Williams expected to return to training next week after a moderate left thigh injury suffered on international duty two weeks ago.

Athletic Club returns to training today ahead of Saturday's trip to Valencia, with manager Terzic confirming that Nico Williams is on track to resume activity next week. The winger suffered a moderate anterior rectus injury in his left leg during Spain duty exactly two weeks ago. Terzic stated Williams's return was "a matter of days" following Athletic's postponed match with Rayo. Defender Laporte missed the Madrid trip due to a last-minute indisposition but is expected to be available.
