Nico Williams also returns for Bilbao

The presence of Athletic players in the Spanish under-21 team has been reduced to a minimum. Although Luis de la Fuente initially summoned Sancet, Nico Williams and Vencedor; the only one of the three lions that has remained under his command is the last one. The first two are in Bilbao due to their respective physical problems.

The news of the absence of Sancet spread during the day yesterday. The now rojiblanco striker, in the absence of the corresponding medical report from Athletic, has pubic problems. The Navarrese did not even travel to Madrid yesterday.

The one who did was Nico Williams. A round trip, since today upon his arrival at the concentration, before training began, his condition was assessed by the RFEF medical services. “After this assessment, the coach Luis de la Fuente together with the medical services of the RFEF and Athletic Club have decided that the most appropriate thing is for the player to return to the discipline of his club to continue his recovery, avoiding any risk” , assured from the Federation itself.

Nico Williams has already touched the area of ​​his right leg where he was injured against Real Madrid in the Cup as soon as he stepped onto the pitch at San Mamés last Friday against Getafe to replace Vencedor. The rojiblanco forward, despite the fact that Marcelino was aware of the situation, said that he was in a position to continue and the match ended. In Madrid, however, they have sent him back home.

His place in the concentration of the Spanish under-21 team will be occupied by Lobete, Real forward. The red and white representation is thus reduced to Winner.
