Athletic Club head coach Ernesto Valverde has provided an update on the wellbeing of attacking star Iñaki Williams.
This comes after the Ghanaian set alarm bells sounding in the Basque Country on Saturday.
Athletic of course marked their return to action earlier this evening, welcoming RCD Mallorca to San Mamés for a La Liga clash.
When all was said and done, Los Leones emerged on the right side of a 2-1 result, a much-needed return to winning ways.
The aforementioned Iñaki, meanwhile, featured from the off in the clash, and opened the scoring from the penalty spot early on.
Early in the 2nd-half, however, the 31-year-old pulled up with a fitness problem, before limping off to be replaced by brother Nico.
Speaking to the media post-match, manager Ernesto Valverde was therefore asked for an update on Iñaki’s wellbeing.
And Athletic’s headmaster went on to explain:
”It seems like it’s a muscle issue. We hope it’s not too serious. We’ll do some tests tomorrow.”
