Athletic Bilbao Duo Set to Miss Man United UEL Clash

Athletic Bilbao’s exciting winger Nico Williams has reportedly suffered a groin injury, which will likely keep him out of their upcoming match against Real Madrid.

The exact duration of his absence remains uncertain.

Additionally, left-back Yuri Berchiche has also been ruled out with an injury, and his return date is yet to be determined.

This injury update comes at a crucial time for Athletic Bilbao, especially with their Europa League semifinal against Manchester United looming.

The first leg is scheduled to take place at San Mames on May 1, followed by the second leg at Old Trafford on May 8.

Before the injury, Williams had been in impressive form for Athletic Bilbao, scoring 11 goals and providing 7 assists in 42 appearances across competitions this season.

Interestingly, Manchester United has been monitoring Williams’ progress, and some reports suggest they might be interested in signing him in the summer transfer window.
