Est. Return 10/19/2025
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Williams appeared in 29 La Liga matches for Athletic during the 2024/25 season, scoring five goals and providing five assists in what was one of his most complete campaigns to date. His pace, dribbling, and improved decision-making in the final third made him a constant threat on the left wing. After signing a contract extension through 2035, he remains central to Athletic Club's long-term plans. Heading into the 2025/26 season, if he can build on his output from the last two campaigns, he should reach double digits in goal contributions and could aim to surpass the 20-goal contribution mark across all competitions, with the Champions League returning to the Basque region.
Possibly out six weeks
Williams (groin) could miss up to six weeks due to his adductor injury, according to Juanma Velasco of Marca.
ANALYSIS
Williams is receiving a grim outlook of his injury after being forced off early during the international break, as he is now looking at possibly missing six weeks. Some other sources have reported he could be back in around two to three weeks, with six weeks appearing to be the maximum. This will leave the club without their starter on the left for the opening of UCL play, with Alex Berenguer as a likely replacement while Maroan Sannadi or Gorka Guruzeta move to forward.
