Athletic Bilbao will be without Nico Williams and Unai Núñez for their crucial La Liga fixture against Real Betis on Sunday.
Both players have been ruled out due to hamstring injuries, dealing a blow to Ernesto Valverde’s squad.
Williams, a key figure for the Basque side this season with 30 appearances across all competitions, has suffered a strain in his left hamstring.
Meanwhile, Núñez, who has been a reliable defensive option, is sidelined with a right hamstring injury.
Athletic Bilbao confirmed their absences in an official statement.
Nico Williams and Unai Núñez will not be available for Athletic Club’s Liga match against Real Betis on Sunday at the Benito Villamarín.
Nico is suffering from a strain in his left hamstring and Núñez is suffering from a hamstring injury in his right leg,” the club announced.
The match, scheduled for Sunday at 20:00 GMT, is a vital one for Athletic as they continue their push for a top finish in La Liga.
Valverde will now have to adjust his lineup to cope with the absence of Williams, one of his most influential attackers.
