Ghana international Inaki Williams has been ruled out of the upcoming UEFA Europa League semifinals clash between Manchester United and Athletic Bilbao.
Williams is currently carrying a muscle injury, missing out of Athletic Bilbao’s trip to Manchester.
His absence will surely affect Athletic Bilbao, who are seeking to overturn the 3-0 deficit in the return fixture to secure a place in the final.
“Inaki Williams is not included in the squad list for the trip to Manchester. The striker has not been called up for Thursday’s Europa League semi-final second leg at Old Trafford due to a muscle injury to the hamstring of his right hamstring” a statement from the club reads.
Meanwhile, the return of the Ghana international remains unknown: “It remains to be seen whether it will evolve”
The Black Stars attacker was forced off with an injury as his outfit settled for a goalless draw with Real Sociedad in the Spanish La Liga last Sunday. Williams had to be subbed off in the 62nd-minute.
The former Spain international, who has been an important player for Athletic Bilbao this season hopes to recover in time to complete the campaign.
The 30-year-old has made 48 appearances for Athletic Bilbao this season, scoring 11 goals and delivering 9 assists across competitions.
