Nico Williams returns as Gorka Guruzeta ruled out with ACL tear
Summarised by MatchPal
Gorka Guruzeta suffers ACL tear and requires surgery; Nico Williams cleared to return from muscle injury.
Athletic Bilbao received contrasting injury news on the same day. Gorka Guruzeta's medical tests confirmed a serious left knee injury — a torn anterior cruciate ligament requiring surgery — sustained in Saturday's match against Valencia. Meanwhile, Nico Williams has recovered from his muscle problems and is expected to rejoin group training, putting him in contention for tomorrow's rescheduled fixture against Levante. Robert Navarro, who also left Saturday's match with physical issues, is available after tests revealed only muscular overload rather than a more serious injury.
