Nico Williams returns to training, Laporte and Sancet still sidelined

Nico Williams returned to individual training with Athletic Bilbao; Laporte and Sancet remain sidelined and unlikely for next Saturday's Valencia match.

Athletic Bilbao's injury situation shows mixed progress ahead of next Saturday's La Liga visit to Valencia. Nico Williams trained separately under supervision after muscular problems, while midfielder Sancet remains unavailable with a similar issue. Defender Laporte, who missed Saturday's abandoned Rayo Vallecano fixture due to last-minute indisposition, is also unlikely to return in time. Manager Terzic has incorporated players from the B team to bolster the squad.
