Nico Williams - Out six to eight weeks Williams is set to miss six to eight weeks of action with a pubalgia, according to El Chiringuito TV.

Impact Williams is set for another treatment process and is heading to the sidelines, with six to eight weeks out expected. This is likely something to try to put his injury issues from this season behind him ahead of the World Cup, now set to miss out until the end of March. Unfortunately, this will force a change for time being, with Robert Navarro and Alex Berenguer likely to see more time on the left while Inaki Williams works back into the starting XI. This is a major loss for the club, needing to replace a top playmaker who holds six goal contributions this season.

Yeray Alvarez - Returns from 10 months suspension Alvarez is set to return to the match squad after resuming team training on Monday following his 10 month suspension, the club posted.

Impact Alvarez was suspended for 10 months by UEFA after the misuse of his partner's hair loss medication, which contained a banned substance classified as doping. The center back is now free from suspension and resumed team training on Monday, with the aim of quickly rebuilding his fitness in the coming weeks to help the team. Alvarez was an undisputed starter prior to the suspension and is expected to reclaim a similar role now that he is available, especially with Athletic Club dealing with ongoing injury issues across the backline this season.
