An update on the wellbeing of Athletic Club star Nico Williams has come to the fore on Wednesday.
And the news is of an altogether encouraging nature for all associated with the Basque outfit.
Wide-man Nico has for his part spent the bulk of the last six weeks on the sidelines, with a muscular injury suffered whilst on international duty with Spain.
Though the 23-year-old managed to play his part in Athletic’s most recent outing against Mallorca, he has since been forced to sit out training whilst struggling for fitness once more.
Ahead of his side’s post-international break return to action against Elche this weekend, Nico, in turn, has remained a major doubt to feature.
If the latest word stemming from Bilbao is anything to go by, though, then the attacker on Wednesday appears to have taken a significant step back towards the pitch.
As per a report from Mundo Deportivo:
‘Nico Williams was the star of today’s positive news at Lezama. The winger has returned to training with his teammates after two weeks on the sidelines.’
