Marca Bilbao reports that by waiting for the results of new tests, everything is currently indicating to the next two games of Williams Athletic Club against Alaves and Arsenal.

The report underlines that Williams already had trouble with a groin injury at the end of last season, missing six games following the problem. His club will not want to take any risks now that he is flared again.

Since Williams was forced to leave the game and the Arsenal match is only eight days, it certainly seems unlikely that the player is back in time.

Fans of sports clubs can only hope that the withdrawal of the 23 -year -old was completely precaution, which is not what it looks like. Adductor injuries generally require a minimum of two weeks.

Arsenal will feel confident about their chances against the athletics club anyway, after defeating the 3-0 team in pre-season with Williams on the ground at the Emirates Stadium. However, the Gunners have since lost two of the scorers of this match at the injury – Bukayo Saka and Kai Havertz.

With the confrontation of the Champions League which takes place in Spain, the athletics club can consider an opportunity for revenge.
