The first list of Luis Enrique since he returned to take over the bench of the Spanish team has sparked debate at the level of social networks. The relationship of forwards called up by the Asturian coach, with Traoré and Ansu Fati as great novelties, has caused some fans to criticize the absence of Iñaki Williams (also that of Gerard Moreno). The loss of the tip of Athletic, sporting merits or demerits aside, is due to a specific fact.
Williams has not yet started the preseason with his teammates because he tested positive for coronavirus in the PCR test that Athletic subjected their squad to before going back to work. The rojiblanco striker himself was in charge of making this setback public. “Today they confirmed that I have tested positive in the PCR test. I am asymptomatic and luckily I feel fine. It is time to be home in isolation until you overcome the virus. I am looking forward to that moment and join the team's preseason, ”he published on August 12 on his Instagram account.

Beyond the football debate surrounding the success or failure of Luis Enrique to include Williams in this call, the truth is that today it is impossible for the coach to count on the Athletic striker contest because he is out, as well as five other teammates who also tested positive for coronavirus.
